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...

Atomic cosmetics
The guilty pleasure of ITV2's Big Reunion has been soured somewhat by Atomic Kitten cashing in with a range of lip glosses and nail polishes. Let's hope said merch isn't too pricey – otherwise fans may need a payday loan as endorsed by ex-kitten Kerry Katona.

Crew, jcrew.com

French fancies
He may be best known to young'uns for dressing up Diet Coke cans in a Breton stripe, but designer Jean Paul Gaultier's impact on fashion far outweighs such a project. A new exhibition “From the Sidewalk to the Catwalk” includes “that bra” as worn by Madonna herself.

Cracking stuff
The scumble glaze finish of the new “Craquelle” range from Miu Miu has made The Audit all misty-eyed for Changing Rooms - in which neighbours decorated each other's houses with rag rolls and stencils under the watchful gaze of Carol Smiley. Tote £870, miumiu.com
