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.

Reader, I saw the musical. Actually, I didn't 'cos it only opens tonight, but, if everything goes according to plan, I shall when it goes on tour and into the West End. Those of you who have been puzzling as to what Emily, Charlotte and Anne got up to when they weren't wandering about the moors, feverishly writing fiction or locking up the drinks cabinet to stop Branwell from having one over the eight, here's the answer: singing. Not many people saw The Mitford Girls, the last real-life sister bio-musical, but I think that was because it lacked the tragic element:
no-one died of consumption. The burning question is what rhymes with tuberculosis? I suspect authors Peter Spafford and Brenda Cooper may duck the issue and opt for a variant on "TB or not TB, that is the question", but I'm keeping my fingers crossed. While we're on the subject, what about a musical on the Redgraves at this address?
