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 MINI-TORNADO toppled trees and a chimney yesterday, blocking roads in East Sussex. Police worked with the Highways Agency to clear wreckage from roads around Battle and Sedlescombe.
There were no reports of injuries, but police took 20 calls about damage, which included items from a garden centre scattered across a road. Trees blocked the A121 and the B224 at Sedlescombe, the A271 at Battle and the A2100 at Telham.
