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 exhibition likely to break all previous records for British art shows was yesterday overwhelmed by devotees offered a sneak preview and forced to keep its doors open late, writes James Cusick.
Friends of the Tate, the elite fans who qualify for private showings, turned up in their thousands and queued for up to two and half hours to see the new Cezanne exhibition which officially opens at the central London gallery today. The exhibition of the work of the French post-impressionist painter comes to London after being shown in Paris.
Despite the pounds 7 entry fee, the highest ever for an exhibition in Britain, advance sales have passed 30,000.
The paintings and drawings on view are regarded as the most important survey of Cezanne's work for more than 50 years. Agencies handling advance ticket sale are reported to be astonished at demand.
