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: Charles James Fox, suspected of complicity in London riots in the 1780s, considered it an entirely appropriate defence to claim that he was in bed with his mistress at the time. Sexual promiscuity is the norm rather than the exception when we view the lives of eminent politicians in the last 200 years. Is it not time to acknowledge that the appetite for power and the appetite for sex are intimately related.
