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.

Bad Day for patience, as a bank robber was arrested after he had responded to a request to wait in line while a bag was stuffed with money for him. David Hindmarsh had walked into a bank in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, and handed the assistant a note demanding money and threatening to explode a bomb. She asked him to wait and 20 minutes later handed him the money. He then ran out of the bank straight into the arms of waiting policemen. The bomb turned out to be a toilet-roll tube.
