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.

Jeremy Clarkson, who has been suspended from the BBC after a "fracas" in which he allegedly "punched" a producer.

But his family aren't delighted that Clarkson's out of the office.

His daughter Em posted a tweet, joking that her father needed to go back to work as he'd started cooking.

Top Gear presenter Clarkson made light of the situation too. Despite the fact that the BBC are launching an investigation into his behaviour, he managed to find the time to joke about how they're going to fill the vacant slot on BBC2 this Sunday.
