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.

The term "#nowplaying" is the most talked about topic on Twitter on the morning of April 13.

Korean pop music talent agency "SM Entertainment" measures up at number two this morning. In third place is the meme, "beforewegetmarried." People are discussing the things they would make their future partner do, say or confess before they would walk down the aisle with them.

You know times are hard "when you can't afford the 'y' and the 'o' in "you","when all of a sudden EVERY girl wants to be Natural" or ""when you flip your boxers inside out because you don't have soap!" say people using the "uKnowTimesAreHard" hashtag in their posts. The term has jumped into the charts at number four.

Web browser developer Opera Software's "Opera Mini" web browser for iPhone is trending in fifth place. The mobile application has been approved by Apple and is now available in the App Store.
