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.

Tonight's serpentine double-bill slithers in with Anaconda (9pm Sky MovieMax). In this entertaining hokum, a documentary crew on the Amazon do battle with a killer snake. It stars Ice Cube, Eric Stoltz, Jon Voight and - thanks to her sizzling performance opposite George Clooney in Out of Sight - Hollywood's current hottest property, Jennifer Lopez (right). This is followed by Rattled (10.30pm), in which hundreds of rattlesnakes invade a small town inhabited by William Katt, an architect with reptile phobia.
Lyndon B Johnson, the 36th US President, was a man of contradictory qualities. Profiled in tonight's Biography (9pm History Channel), he worked for both civil-rights reform and involvement in the Vietnam War.
