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.

STOCKS REBOUNDED as bargain hunters emerged to take advantage of a sharp fall on the back of fresh interest rate worries. By midday, the Dow Jones was up 44 points at 10,718 after shaking off a loss of more than 100 points.

Wall Street, however, was rattled by news that workers' pay rises far outstripped productivity gains in the second quarter of the year, reviving speculation the Fed may raise interest rates this month.
