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.RICHARD BRANSON'S Virgin empire yesterday launched its first fashion collection with a range of casual clothing. The launch of the Vie clothing range by Victory Corporation follows a warning from Victory, which so far has focused on cosmetics, that losses this year could be "significantly" bigger than market expectations.
Branson and Virgin Trustees upped their holding in Victory to 54.69 percent on Thursday from 51.2 per cent, saying Virgin was "totally committed to Victory". But even though Victory is only a small part of the Virgin empire, which stretches from airlines through trains to financial services, there are concerns among observers its struggles could impact on the Virgin image. Virgin has dispensed with its hallmark signature-style logo for the clothing and picked a modern, hi-tech typeface for its labelling, centred with a bold double "V".
