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.

Supermarkets were warned yesterday to rein in the claims they make about each other's prices by the advertising watchdog.

Sainsbury, Asda, Tesco and Safeway all have complaints about each other's adverts in the latest bulletin from the Advertising Standards Authority. Only one complaint against Tesco has been upheld, and the ASA is warning shops to check their facts before launching an attack on their rivals.

It also warns them to take care that goods they compare with competition are not short-term offers.
