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.

Made from a blend of four-fifths grenache and one-fifth syrah, this is a typically vivid, modern style of Côtes du Rhône in which succulent berry fruit flavours mingle with plummy acidity.
£4.99, M&S, down from £5.99, until 2 November
2006 Douro Reserva, Quinta de la Rosa
A vivid modern blend of the port grape varieties, Touriga Nacional, Touriga Franca and Tinta Roriz, with pristine, rich-mulberry succulence defined by subtle rounding oak. A terrific winter warmer.
£9.99, Waitrose
2006 Ch St Ferréol, Vin de Pays d'Oc
Outside its heartland of Condrieu, I haven't come across a viognier as rich in dried apricot fruitiness and with such finely balanced acidity as this example from near Montpellier.
