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.

Letter:

Partying Clinton

Sir: The current excitement over both President Clinton's testimony and the general public indifference to it reminds me of a comment made by an American friend last year. US comics and commentators were making much of Clinton's installation in the White House of a "party size" hot-tub (big enough to accommodate six to eight people). My friend said that it made a pleasant change to have a president about whom the worst they could say was that he liked a good time.

Sir: Surely it is time to call an international conference for all politicians who have never stooped to "improper sexual relationships", with the express purpose of condemning Mr Clinton's behaviour?

As to venue, could I suggest the telephone kiosk in our village?
