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.A member of a teenage gang, who stabbed and nearly killed the husband of the Director of Public Prosecutions during a street mugging, was sentenced to eight years' custody at Knightsbridge Crown Court yesterday.
The 17-year-old youth, who was 15 at the time of the assault in May 1995, attacked 58-year-old John Mills with a butterfly knife, severing an artery in his abdomen and piercing his liver. Mr Mills managed to stagger 100 yards to his home in north London, where he collapsed into the arms of his wife Barbara.
