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.For the fourth week, Scottish singer Susan Boyle, the breakout star of the television talent show Britain's Got Talent has maintained the top spot on the Billboard 200 chart.
Fueled by brisk holiday sales, Boyle's I Dreamed a Dream is keeping soul singer Alicia Keys's The Element of Freedom from the top position and could edge out Mary J. Blige's new release Stronger WithEach Tear.
It is safe to say that Boyle is not a fluke. Her debut album has earned multi-platinum status, closing in on 3 million sold and vying with Taylor Swift's Fearless for the best-selling release of the year.
