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.

"This is a proper, old-fashioned, character-based, gag-a-minute sitcom – something UK TV's been sadly lacking of late. Indeed, with the possible exception of 'Gavin & Stacey', it's hard to think of a recent home-grown comedy that makes you laugh out loud in the way that '30 Rock' does – and with no laugh track either." - Jane Murphy, www.orange.co.uk/ entertainment/

"Most sitcoms are as bad for you as the offbrand Mexican Cheetos that Liz gorges, and as Jenna tells Liz point, employing 'a weak metaphor', you deserve a good meal. '30 Rock' is a feast." - Donald Liebenson, www.amazon.co.uk

"There's a lot of chemistry between Alec Baldwin playing Jack and Fey. I keep hoping that they'll do something between the two characters, not yet though. I'm keeping my fingers crossed that the writers work on this storyline in the future." - Julianne Jones, www.reviewstream.com

"But it's not the guest stars we're tuning in to see. The regulars all seemed to up their game in this second season. Liz Lemon is the heart of the show. Throughout the year, her struggle to keep both her career and her personal life in order was a driving force for some very funny episodes." - Robert Canning, uk.tv.ign.com
