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.LA NINA, the weather phenomenon behind record snow in the North- west of the United States this winter and dry conditions in Florida, is being blamed for the tornadoes that have swept the Mid West plains.
It is the opposite of the more common and better-understood El Nino, which is warming of the Pacific area. La Nina refers to a unusually cold pool of water in the equatorial Pacific that develops every few years.
