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.When I was 25, I bought a Westfield kit car. The car was so tiny I could press my right hand on the road at the same time as gripping the other side of the car with my left. That's small. However, it cornered like nothing on earth. In the dry, I was Colin McRae. In rain, it handled like a ship. I lost count of how many times I spun it.
It also used to overheat, so that hot water poured over the pedals and my shoes. I kept a bottle of water with me for refills – until I ran out and sat in a cloud of steam on a motorway. All I had was the empty bottle, a full bladder and a hell of a good idea. Sadly, when it overheated again, the water and steam pouring on to my shoes had an entirely different quality. Good memories.
