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.

WANT to buy a used Ford Bronco? There's a white one for sale in California, but don't expect to pay less than a six-figure sum for it. No, it doesn't have a gold-plated steering wheel or diamond-studded hubcaps. What's on offer is simply the most famous Bronco in the world - the one that captivated an international television audience last 17 June when its owner, Al Cowlings, drove his friend O J Simpson along the freeways of Los Angeles, followed by dozens of police cars and media helicopters. "Ever since `The Ride', people have called asking if they could buy the Bronco," said Cowlings's lawyer, Donald Re. OJ's former Buffalo Bills teammate isn't able to use it any more ``because it's the most recognisable car in America."

Cowlings's car is not to be confused with Simpson's own white Bronco, in which police say they found blood spots. It is still being held as evidence in the double-murder case.
