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.

LTCM rescuers could share $50m

THE PARTNERSHIP that controls Long-Term Capital Management, the hedge fund that had to be saved from collapse in September, could collect end- of-year performance fees of $50m (pounds 30m).

Under the terms of the $3.6bn bailout, the controlling partners are entitled to collect 15 per cent of all profits made by the fund after the rescue package was agreed. According to reports, this share could be as much as $50m.
