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: In the face of the convincing evidence, President Clinton for eight months maintained his barefaced lie that he did not have a sexual liaison with Monica Lewinsky.

When Clinton authorised the bombing of a pharmaceutical plant in Sudan, Tony Blair almost immediately and unquestioningly accepted Mr Clinton's assertion that he had "compelling evidence" that the plant was manufacturing biological weapons. Sudan requested that the "compelling evidence" be examined by the UN. President Clinton blocked an independent examination.

It is about time for Britain to adopt a truly independent foreign policy and abandon the embarrassing special relationship, which is no more than being the US's number one poodle.
