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.

Juicy Argentinian malbec. Full of plum and cherry fruit with a substantial veneer of spicy oak, making for an everyday red that tastes considerably more expensive than it is.

A refreshing, aromatic Australian dry white. Classic lime-zesty characters of riesling enhanced by the smoky, keroseney undertones the grape can develop. At 11.5 per cent alcohol, it's the perfect foil for Chinese and delicately spiced Thai food.
Splash out: 2002 Perrin Vacqueyras, Les Christins, £10.03, Tesco
Spicy, headily scented and rich, this fine Rhône village grenache and syrah blend doesn't quite have the depth of the amazing 2001, but it's still a robust, characterful and peppery red. An asset to any lingering summery lunch.
