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.

Middle Youth is the newly identified consumer type. These thirtysomethings have houses, jobs and may still attend nightclubs, but will then get some sleep before going out to a garden centre.
Middle Youth Club
They still have all the nightlife
But only half the E
Might this be Mid Youth Crisis?
It looks like that to me
They're home by six or seven
For things they have to do
Like sleep for several hours
Then drive to B & Q
Mid-thirtyish but modern
Age has not wearied them
In Portishead and Dubstar
They hear no requiem
As style-war inductees
They're front-line troops no more
But shop for sheds and Tumbling Teds
Around the crowded store
For this is how a decade
Asserts its quiet advance
It starts by trailing fashion
But ends in trailing plants
