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.Overheard at the Reform Club dining room the other day, as a lady diner was ordering her pudding: Diner: Please can you bring coffee with my pudding.
Waitress: I'm afraid coffee is only served in the lounge.
D: Then can you send someone to the lounge to get a cup of coffee and bring it in here with my pudding.
W: I'm afraid coffee is only served and drunk in the lounge.
D: Then when my pudding is ready, could you take it into the lounge so that I may eat it while drinking my coffee.
W: I'm afraid puddings are served and eaten only in the dining room.
D: (after a pause) There's no way round this problem, is there?
W: I'm afraid not, madam. But the coffee's not that good anyway.
