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.

You may not be feeling ready for it yet, but after Christmas, when the bathroom scales tell you what you didn't want to know, you could do much worse than head here. It's a comprehensive site and very well-designed with a strong section on health, diet and nutrition.

The best lines from history always seem to be the great put-downs. This page, dedicated to "celebrities who weren't afraid to speak their mind", has many examples. My favourite? Clive James's quip about Arnold Schwarzenegger: "He looks like a condom full of walnuts."

Fill in the name of somebody you don't like and this program will generate a letter of complaint about them. Actually, all it produces is some rather convincing gibberish, but it's good enough to annoy anybody you actually send one to.
