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.Sublime. Chocolatey. I feel like a hippo in a mud-bath when I listen to Wagner.

The Breakfast Show (R5)
At this time of year, the thought of hibernation seems rather appealing.

Some bats have an alternative motive for mid-hibernacular arousal. One adult male can work his way along a whole row of hanging, torpid females.

When Irish immigrants arrived in New York, Germans, forgetting that they too were immigrants, turned up their noses saying "these people don't smell like Americans".
The Idea of the City (WS)
The only answer is continuous, condomed sex. For everybody.
