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.

Darksiders begins with the end of the world. War, one of the four horsemen, rides to Earth to oversee heaven and hell's final battle but, before he knows what's going on, he's charged with breaking a holy pact and stripped of his powers. The game proper, an engaging mix of Zelda-style dungeons and God of War-like combat, relates War's quest to punish those responsible for setting him up. You may have seen many of Darksiders' puzzles before but rarely delivered with such panache, while sword-swinging combat is never far away and always entertaining.
