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.

A WOMAN poured boiling wax over her husband's penis as he slept naked in bed, a court was told yesterday.

Diane Sladek, 49, of Marske-by-the-Sea, Cleveland, was sent a parcel which contained her husband's boxer shorts and a letter claiming he had been having an affair. Teesside Crown Court was told that at 2am the next day she melted five candles in a pan then poured it on to him. She then clubbed him with the pan.

Michael Sladek, 45, suffered 13 per cent deep burns and needed skin grafts. His wife, 49, admitted causing grievious bodily harm. Sentence was adjourned for social reports.
