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.

Mahathir ready to step down

Kuala Lumpur - Malaysia's Prime Minister, Mahathir Mohamad, reminding his United Malays National Organisation that he was now 70, said he would "soon" hand over power to his deputy, Anwar Ibrahim, 47, indicating for the first time that he is ready to step down after 14 years in office. Mr Anwar has repeatedly denied that there is a power struggle in the party, although his supporters have openly said that it is time for Dr Mahathir to step down AP
