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.

It's a radio idea really, and, as TV, this new series in which six people discuss their favourite machines might drive the less patient to watching the Channel 5 test transmissions. It opens with novelist Louise Brindley on her 50-year relationship with an Olivetti typewriter she calls Olive. When Olive finally packs up for good, says Brindley, she knows it's time for her to stop writing (3669).
Film: Poison Ivy (10pm C4) It's not what you'd call a good film, but the cast of this over-ripe melodrama is intriguing - not least, former ET tot Drew Barrymore in her coming-of-age role as the vampish teen seducing the household of Sara Gilbert (Darlene in Roseanne). Mom (who suffers from emphysema) and dad (who suffers from what the painter Balthus recently called "Nabokovian tendencies") are played by Cheryl Ladd and Tom Skerritt (785973).
