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.

He romps through different R&B styles with abandon: "Going To See My Baby" opens proceedings with a rollicking Crescent City blues, complete with marching-band brass; for "You've Got Me" he essays a Rosco Gordon-esque shuffle groove; and "Call On Me" offers his own brisk, skittish boogie take on the classic Diddleybeat. But it's his dazzling, super-fast version of Dave Brubeck's classic "Unsquare Dance" that most impresses – the composer himself has marvelled at Milner's interpretation. This stylistic tour is rounded off with versions of Robert Johnson's "Come On In My Kitchen" and Rihanna's "Disturbia".
