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.

An amplifier to match the PRS
The solid state amps of the 1970s were supposed to make valve amps obsolete.
Yet valve amps are now making a comeback for their warm sound. A good example of this is heard on the riff for `Under the Bridge' by the Red Hot Chilli Peppers (also sampled for the All Saints cover version).
One of the best valve amps around is the 15 watt Matchless A. Similar to the PRS, it is put together largely by hand. It comes with suitably retro style bakelite knobs and will set you back a whopping pounds 1,399.
