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.

The 10p Wham chew bar, a long-time favourite of children and scourge of dentists, is to go the way of Spangles, Pacers and Texan Bars, disappearing from the shelves. The maker, New McCowans of Scotland, has announced the closure of its factory, resulting in 100 job losses and the end for the popular sweet, as well as one of Scotland's oldest confectioneries, Highland Toffee. Factories in Devon and Skegness will also close.
The Wham bar was launched in the early 1980s and became popular with children, with sales reportedly hitting 30 million a year at their peak.
