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.a Good Week for poetic justice, as Private First Class Itthiphol Warayu had his car, gun, mobile phone and other values stolen from him by a woman in the resort of Pattaya. The victim of the crime was a police officer assigned to a task force working on the problem of eliminating vice from the notorious "sex and sand" resort. The thief was a woman with whom he had been sleeping in a love motel.
a Bad Week for Boris Yeltsin, whose puppet has gone missing. The puppet was stolen from the satirical Kukly programme - a sort of Russian Spitting Image - which is having to use a less convincing spare puppet of Yeltsin while waiting for a replacement to be made.
a Violent Week for piemen, as Lester "Bear" Bryant was convicted of shooting the brother of his girlfriend for eating a slice of his lemon meringue pie he had been keeping for himself. A prosecuting lawyer said the verdict showed that local residents would not stand for violence over a piece of lemon meringue pie.
