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.Memorabilia of Sir Winston Churchill are among art treasures, books, furniture and fine wines from the estate of his daughter-in-law, Pamela Harriman,to be auctioned by Sotheby's in New York. The sale, on 19 and 20 May, is expected to raise about pounds 6m, the bulk of which will go to the Tory MP Winston Churchill - Mrs Harriman's only son - and his estranged wife Mary.
Mrs Harriman, the former American ambassador to France who died last month, aged 76, wed Sir Winston's son, Randolph, during the Second World War at the age of 19, but the marriage failed and she went on to marry first the Broadway tycoon, Leland Hayward, and then New York Governor Averell Harriman.
