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.

Try DR Harris' extremely effective Pick Me Up. In a small old-fashioned chemist, nestling quietly in the heart of London's gentleman's clubland, understanding staff will serve you a glass of this mixture over the counter mixed with a small Vitamin C tablet for extra measure. The tonic, a blend of tinctures (alcoholic substances), was concocted back in 1850 and works on the old hair-of-the-dog-that-bit-you theory. And it works. Clubbers who've been out all night have discovered this olde worlde brew; fugged-up party animals are a common sight staggering into this genteel little shop first thing in the morning. Alternatively, you can buy a bottle to quaff in the comfort of your own home.

Dr Harris Pick Me Up costs pounds 5.10 for 100ml at DR Harris and Co Ltd, 29 St James St SW1 (071-930 3915). Mon-Fri 8.30am-6pm/Sat 9.30am-5pm.
