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.

Pick of the Day

I'M SURE Mick Jagger would rather not have been grabbing headlines recently with news of his prospective divorce from Jerry Hall, but the press's continuing fascination with the man underlines that even in his late fifties, he is still a star. He is the subject of tonight's Biography (9pm History Channel), which charts his extraordinary life since meeting Keith Richards and forming the Rolling Stones in the early 1960s.

Arnold Schwarzenegger (right) has always tried to alternate between comedy and action movies, thereby cultivating two separate markets. Kindergarten Cop (6pm Sky Premier), Ivan Reitman's fluffy romp about a policeman who has to pretend to be a kindergarten teacher, is followed by Eraser (8pm), altogether tougher fare, in which he plays an agent for the witness protection programme.
