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.RESIDENTS OF the soggy Pacific Northwest are accustomed to wet weather, but with rain on 89 of the last 119 days in Seattle alone, people are shouting, "Turn off the taps."
The official winter rain season ends on Sunday, sodden denizens of the water-logged region from Vancouver, British Columbia, to northern California will bid good riddance to four months of pouring rain, howling winds, mud slides, potholes and general misery.
