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.
Warning: the below is laced with sarcasm.
For those of you who haven't had the very immense pleasure of reading Jonah Goldberg's absurdly titled book, Liberal Fascism, it may that you're still unaware of this writer's brilliance/wisdom/perspicacity (delete as appropriate). Now the distinguished scholar and author has cast his eye of Hillary Clinton's vigorous performance at the Senate last week.
And, putting things mildly, he's not very impressed: "Wednesday, in her testimony before the Senate and, later, the House, Clinton brilliantly fudged, dodged, and filibustered. Of course, she’s a pro. Clinton was slow-walking depositions, lawyering up, and shifting blame when many of her questioners were still civilians down on the farm."
Thankfully he has the humility to confess that: "Aided by a ridiculous format, she outfoxed most of the Republicans with ease." In case you think we're exaggerating Goldberg's allegations, it may be worth quoting this nugget from later in his piece: "Just to be clear, Clinton lied and is still lying".
Jonah, we salute you.
