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 CIA is preparing to release thousands of files on some of its most controversial Cold War operations, including the bungled 1961 Bay of Pigs invasion of Cuba and US-orchestrated coups in Guatemala and Iran in the 1950s, Reuter reports from New York. The New York Times quoted unidentified government officials as saying the CIA would open files on every important covert operation it had a role in from 1950 to 1963.
