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.Good Day for mice, as two towns in Albania were blacked out, an electricity distribution centre burned down and and a power plant caught fire when a mouse chewed through a cable causing a short-circuit. "A normal grey mouse can be fantastically expensive," a spokesman said. "It cost about $10,000."
Bad Day for flies and mosquitoes, as authorities in Peking extended their campaign against cockroaches to other insects. "All urban neighbourhood and work units are urged to conduct hygienic inspections and to distribute pesticide," they said. The fight against flies and mosquitoes will last from 28 June until 10 July.
