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.

Three or four seasons ago, Premier League football clubs could count on a visit from Southampton to provide their lowest gate of the season. But that was before Matthew Le Tissier started scoring the kind of dazzling Roy of the Rovers goals that have seen him become every starry-eyed schoolboy's hero. Southampton play Tottenham Hotspur tomorrow in the fifth round of the FA Cup and, while there's plenty to admire in Jurgen Klinsmann's prodigious workrate and Nick Barmby's athletic dynamism, there's only one player whose effortlessly threaded 40-yard passes and casually hoofed laser free-kicks cause collective drooling on all four terraces. At Southampton, Le Tissier is as close as it's humanly possible to be to a one-man team; and even on an off day, it can be worth the gate money alone just to see him fail... gloriously.
