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.

Attention all Kevin Spacey-cadets: the main man is appearing live on stage (he was a stage actor for years before movie stardom) at London's Almeida Theatre next April in Eugene O'Neill's monster bar-room drama, The Iceman Cometh. In the USA Spacey is currently famous for doing interviews to publicise his role in Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil (a gay-centred film made, bizarrely, by Clint Eastwood) in which he refused to discuss his private life. Meantime, over here we have this cracking new thriller LA Confidential, also starring Kim Basinger (above). As Ryan Gilbey wrote: "It's a very well-made and intelligent picture, assembled with an attention to detail, both in plot and characterisation, that you might have feared was all but extinct in American cinema." All that plus the man who almost made you believe A Time to Kill was worth watching (I said, "almost"), did the dirty in Glengarry Glen Ross, who invaded your nightmares in Seven and won an Oscar for The Usual Suspects.
