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.

Although the undertone remained optimistic, weakness in the Tokyo market took its toll. Supporting shares were again in positive territory with the mid cap index gaining 20.4 to 4,763.3.
Ladbroke was the top performing Footsie constituent, gaining 13p to 238p following the pounds 390m sale of its Coral betting shops. Colt Telecom, likely to be named share of the year, rose 37.5p to a new peak of 956.5p.
