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.

THE SWEEPER has amnesia. He's forgotten how to lose. Two winners - Arsenal to beat Derby and Manchester United to draw with Chelsea - and a non-runner (Barnsley v Tottenham) in last week's Trixie. And, though he's not sure whether it's the light - or just from being in the form of his life - this weekend's Premiership programme looks easy. Chelsea can hammer West Ham; Coventry can bury Blackburn; Arsenal can gun down Everton; Leicester can fox Charlton; Newcastle may draw with Manchester United; Sheffield Wednesday may draw with Leeds; Tottenham may draw with Aston Villa; and Wimbledon can cut down Nottingham Forest. Freefalling Middlesbrough may be held to a draw by Southampton tomorrow while Fiorentina may draw with plucky Venezia.
