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.So, a nation mourns: again; the years of hurting: not over; those flags of red and white that so lately fluttered thrillingly now hang limp or are forlornly furled. England's heroes, undone by wile, guile and samba, limp away from the showdown in Shizuoka, nursing their collective pride, groin, metatarsal, and pony tail as our sun sets in the land where it rises.

All right, all right. Enough. You have not come down here for high emotion. You need consolation. Ready? It is summer. All this early-morning bonhomie can be rather enervating. As can the nation pulling together. That face paint plays havoc with the complexion, too. You are bored with the theme from The Great Escape. You can get on with tiling the bathroom. It has made you strong for Wimbledon. We're still unbeatable in the Boat Race. Better?
