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.Good Day for romance, as an opinion poll in Paris Match revealed that most French women prefer a "reserved man who prefers to listen" and who also sends her flowers and bombards her with phone calls. 52 per cent of men, however, prefer women who have condoms in their handbags.
Bad Day for acupuncture, as a patient in the Netherlands had to be freed by police after he had been forgotten by an acupuncturist and left for more than an hour bristling with needles. The doctor was called away to an emergency then went home. The patient was said to have been "very good about it", and even made an appointment for more treatment.
Frugal Day for Scots, as it was revealed that none of the 29 adults on the islands of St Kilda has bothered to register for the electoral roll. As a result, the Western Isles council will be spared the expense of organising a polling station on St Kilda, and will also save the pounds 5,000 it would have cost to charter a helicopter to transport ballot boxes. Of the 29 non-voters, 22 run a missile tracking station, six study sheep and one is warden of a bird sanctuary.
