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.

Whiskey-swilling hitwoman Rubi Malone is the acrobatic star of Bethesda’s third-person shooter Wet.With a title like that and a curvaceous female assassin on the cover, it might sound exploitative, but Wet steers clear of tired old sexism in favour of kickass combat and a slick, cinematic style. It’s far from perfect – the patchy platforming is caused by frustratingly off-kilter controls, but each level’s arena sees Malone defeating serried ranks of enemies beautifully and brutally, not least when she goes into no-holdsbarred “rage” mode.
