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: As a direct result of its persecution of President Clinton, the Republican Party has lost not one, but two of its leaders.

It has got itself into a situation where two of the articles of impeachment recommended by its majority on the House Judiciary Committee were defeated with the help of its own Congress members. It seems the real story in the US is the self-immolation of the Republican Party.

As so often happens, hatred and bitterness have eaten away at those who perpetrate them. If Shakespeare were alive today he would already be sharpening his quill to dramatise the "split-screen" presidency, complete with the slaughter of the innocents in Iraq.
