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.

MANDY ALLWOOD, the woman who attempted to have eight babies at the same time but who lost them all, is pregnant again and may be carrying twins.

The 32-year-old, who caused worldwide controversy when she became pregnant in 1996 with octuplets, following fertility treatment, said she was "stunned" at falling pregnant again just four months after giving birth to a baby girl, Color. "We are absolutely thrilled to bits," she said. Ms Allwood, who refused to comment on whether she has been undergoing fertility treatment, is co-writing a book on the subject which she hopes to have published next year.
