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.

Richard and Kate Knight, were mystified until they heard their two- year-old daughter telling the cleaner that she had taken the money to play with, and the dog had eaten it. "We have tried to talk to her about it and explain. But she's only two-and-a-half and they don't understand at that age," said Mrs Knight. "She's never done anything like it before. Nor has the dog."
Bad Day for brothels, as Cambodian prostitutes report a drop in business caused by political turmoil and general unrest. "Before the fighting we used to get 10 customers a day but now we get only two," said the proprietress of a brothel at Svay Pak. One of her staff added: "It's quiet all the time. I'm thinking about going back to Vietnam to become a cook."
Confusing Day for African golden moles, which, according to genetic research to be published in Nature, have more in common with elephants and manatees than with the European garden mole.
