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.Graham Taylor, England football manager: This is a battle for me personally. When you're in trouble you don't look around and you don't make excuses. You get in there and work, son. That's what my mum and dad told me. There will be a turning point. I don't know what, and I don't know when, but something will happen. (William Hill quotes Taylor at 4-7 on to go before the World Cup finals).
John Major, British Prime Minister: You (John Smith) may have overlooked it, but we had an election last year. We won it and you lost it. The score is four-nil in elections recently - in due course it will be five-nil] . . . a little local difficulty - we will get over it and I am getting on with the work in hand. (William Hill quotes Mr Major at 8-13 on to be out of office before the next general election).
