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.
Your support makes all the difference.PepsiCo battled a potential public relations disaster yesterday as reports spread of needles and syringes being found in Pepsi Cola cans and some supermarkets began pulling the popular soft drink from shelves, Reuter reports from New York. So far, people in about a dozen US states claimed to have found hypodermic needles and syringes in cans as embattled Pepsi executives insisted there was no way this could happen in what they described as a virtually tamper- proof manufacturing process.
