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.Boring drive ahead of you? Let the thinking man's boy racer help. Just slip one of Jeremy Clarkson's Top Gear Classics albums into the stereo and "the rich texture of classical music" will work its magic. There are four albums to collect: Turbo Classics, Motoring Moods, Baroque Busters and Open Top Opera. Turbo Classics, Clarkson assures us, makes "every car feel like an Aston Martin, and every road... like the sinewy ribbon from Uttoxeter to Abbotts Bromley", while Baroque Busters will simply help you forget that you own a Vauxhall Cavalier. But what for the poor souls without car stereos? Well, those clever people at NASA have developed an alternative lighting system which may go some way to enlivening your journey. Plaster your car with Californeon lighting strips, and hey presto! Harrods on wheels. These paper-thin bands come in seven colours - wild turquoise is the current best seller - and the Interior Accent Kit allows you to highlight features such as the steering wheel or dashboard. As the strips are wired to the car battery they are more than merely decorative: imagine the joyrider's surprise when on hot-wiring your car it lights up like Blackpool pier.
