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.

Underpinning many songs is a yearning for the security of fellowship and affection – the title-track, a jaunty Gallic-tinged waltz, celebrates humanity's higher aspirations of care and protection, while the desire in “The Loneliest” is for a more personal security of devotion. Elsewhere, the King Creosote duet “Button Up” tracks emotion in meteorological metaphor, while “Dearest Johnny” and “I'm Not Sorry” offer traditional and modern expressions of assertive self-reliance.
