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.

Arnold Schwarzenegger returns a decade since his last proper leading role in a film that does not appear to have stretched his talents.

Not judging by the first trailer which has dropped online. As well as a few jokes about his age (65), the closest Schwarzenegger comes is: "I've seen enough blood and death. I know what's coming." And: "I'm not going to let that guy come through our town without a fight." Perhaps they're saving the good stuff...
