Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.

'Premier Li Peng is doing very well in his recovery and he will receive Prime Minister Mahathir personally,' a Foreign Ministry spokesman told a weekly news briefing. 'We will offer information in due course . . . but I may tell you that Premier Li Peng will not receive Prime Minister Mahathir in hospital,' he said. Mr Li has not been seen in public for more than six weeks.
