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.

The past ten years and 1364 episodes have given viewers endless entertainment from dodgy desserts and heated confrontations to, more recently, the world’s worst loser.
Let’s take a moment to remember the dinners parties we were all happy not to be invited to:

Dogs are not babies
It is commonly said that money, politics and religion should be no-go conversation topics over dinner but apparently, dogs should be added to the controversial list.
