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.

This is going to be Robbie's summer. With a rash of gigs lined up before he heads for Glastonbury - that mythical site where, three summers ago, he did first spatter dung on his squeaky-clean Take That brethren - he is striding like some latterday Prince Hal to claim a crown of fame that actually fits him. The Independent critic who caught a load of his act in Manchester last week summed him up in a phrase that will have stung Gary Barlow with more force than an angry hornet: "The man's a star." The rebirthing period has been long and painful, involving some bad stitch- up jobs carried out by uncaring tabloid hacks, but when Robbie emerged with the ballsy-yet-caring (and surprisingly melodic) debut solo album Life Thru a Lens last year, his nonchalant ability to appeal to all ages, from poster-ogling teenies to mad-for-it grannies, was manifest. Join him tonight as he continues to climb his lucrative learning curve.
