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 supermarket has admitted it got a decimal point in the wrong place after queues formed at a petrol station offering unleaded at 12.9p a litre.
Queues began to form on Thursday evening as dozens of drivers took advantage of the inadvertent discount at Asda in Rooley Lane, Bradford. Some motorists filled petrol cans as well as their tanks. Some reports said the queue became so long, that police had to be called.
Yesterday, an Asda spokeswoman confirmed that an error had been made involving a decimal point. She said: "For a couple of hours some lucky customers got some petrol at the wrong price."
