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.

JOHN CORZINE, who is due to leave Goldman Sachs following the first, aborted attempt to float the investment bank last autumn, is running for the US Senate. Mr Corzine will stand as a Democrat in New Jersey.

Goldman has something of a tradition of supplying Democrat politicians. Robert Rubin, the Treasury Secretary in the current administration, is an ex-Goldman co-chairman. John Thornton, recently elevated to co-chief operating officer, has volunteered for the campaign committee for Democrat presidential no-hoper Bill Bradley.

John Thain, the other chief operating officer at Goldman, bravely admits to being a Republican, but insists this will not impair his working relationship with the "other John".
