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.

Details 419 came from William Hogarth's The Lady's Last Stake - also known as Piquet or Virtue in Danger (1758-9). It was his last "modern moral subject", and untypically straightforward. One of the perks of doing contemporary life dilemma-scenes was that you could leave quite a lot in the air. But this picture was pegged to a current play of the same name - and so how the gambling lady got into the fix (blamelessly), and if she'll get out of it (yes, by a squeak), are closed questions. The gripping hand is the most gripping bit. It's in the Albright-Knox Art Gallery, Buffalo, New York.
The first three correct entries came from: M Taylor, Kingston upon Hull; J Faulkner, Eydon; M Copp, Sudbury
