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.

In the wake of the Supreme Court ruling that Theresa May must consult Parliament before triggering Britain's exit from the European Union, attention will inevitably shift to those MPs who now have the power to reject the Government's plan.

Some MPs have indicated they will vote against triggering Article 50 when it comes to a Commons vote.

Few Conservative MPs are likely to vote against the bill, with former chancellor Ken Clarke the only one to have said he will.

Former deputy prime minister Nick Clegg has also said he plans to vote against the Government bill.

Some MPs are planning to go against their constituency's vote in the EU referendum.
