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.

Sir: What has the moral minority in the United States - the Christian Ayatollahs and their fundamentalist allies in other religions - done to the dignity, the integrity and the reputation of the American constitution and the rule of law?

They have reduced the great principles of the separation of powers and the independence of the judiciary and of the judicial process to the spectacle of a sleazy cabaret in the White House where a pontificating humbug of an unreconstructed puritan solemnly asks the President of the United States of America, leader of the world's only superpower and of the free world, "Was it a hand job or did she give you head?"

"Let him who is without sin among you cast the first stone," said Jesus of Nazareth. Evidently Kenneth Starr thinks that he meant him.
