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.

THE DOW JONES Industrial Average suffered the biggest drop of the month, falling with bonds on concern that the economy's unexpectedly fast growth could accelerate inflation and drive up interest rates. Financial shares led the decline.

The Dow closed 89.63 lower at 10,788.75, recouping most of a 223-point decline. The Standard & Poor's 500 Index fell 7.65 to 1335.18. The Nasdaq Composite Index rose for the first time in three days, gaining 14.44 to 2542.88, as optimistic reports from analysts lifted computer shares.
