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.ONE of John Constable's greatest paintings, The Opening of Waterloo Bridge, is being sent on a regional tour by the Tate Gallery as part of its policy to make its collections more accessible.
The bridge opening was a scene actually witnessed by Constable in 1817, although he did not start painting it until two years later. It shows the Prince Regent on his way to open the original Waterloo Bridge, which was demolished in the 1930s.
It is the first in a series of tours sponsored by the Arts Council and during its seven-month journey, which begins in October, the painting will be seen in Stoke-on- Trent, Coventry, Sunderland and Kendal.
