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.

We love…

Sofa spas

Beauty lovers who err on the lazier side will love Urban Retreat’s new at-home service, delivering a spot of pampering straight to your door. A beauty therapist will arrive with all the tricks of the trade for your treatments, plus a welcome pack of gown and slippers for an authentic spa experience. From £55.

We’re not sure about…

KStew couture

Don’t get us wrong, we’re big fans of Kristen Stewart here at The Audit – there’s no one who can rock an evening-frock-and-Converse combo quite like her. But as the new (long) face of Chanel, all those twin-sets seem a bit too polished for this self-confessed jeans-and-T-shirt- addicted actress.

We’re buying…

Bag it

The Cambridge Satchel Company has opened a pop-up in London’s Spitalfields market. To celebrate, it’s created a limited-edition capsule collection, with fluoro luggage trunks and Disney-print bags. Prices from £135.

16 Lamb St, London, E1

We can’t wait for…

Oscar exclusive

Still searching for the perfect festive frock? Look no further than theoutnet.com, whose second exclusive collection from Oscar De La Renta lands online tomorrow. Expect to find party dresses aplenty. From £250. theoutnet.com

We’re BORROWING…

Priceless treasure

Diamonds may be a girl’s best friend, but they’re not the most affordable of acquisitions. Luckily Lulu’s Estate is on hand with its jewellery-lending club, allowing members to borrow bling at a snippet of the retail value. Lulusestatejewellery.co.uk
