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.

Like a bunch of muscat grapes with an exotic rose-petal fragrance, this is a refreshing dry white with a touch of sweetness from the Brown Brothers family in Victoria. Best savoured chilled.

The rich apple and honey flavours of this fine medium-sweet from the Loire are complemented by just the right degree of fresh acidity.
Splash out: 2002 Chateau Bela Riesling, Sturovo region, Muzla, £9.95, Tanners of Shrewsbury (01743 234455)
From an excellent Mosel producer, this crisp, aromatic Slovakian riesling has a fresh spritz and delicate, off-dry citrusy ripeness underpinned by minerally fruit and steely acidity.
