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.

'Italy go home in shame'
The team is on its way home. In the end the team was more painful than the result. Outclassed until the last 15 minutes. It is very urgent to renew the squad. Untouchable players like Buffon and Pirlo and the insertion of players such as Ranocchia, Matri, Bonucci, Cassano, Balotelli, Miccoli. The new Italy will make his debut on 11 August 2010.

'England, we'll beat you'
On Sunday the classic match will once again kick off in South Africa. Winning against the island-kickers is our favourite victory.England, we'll beat you! Rooney poses no threat for us! We are looking forward for his ninth game without a goal! Our offensive-star Lukas Podolski stokes the fires in advance: "That'll be a wicked game. England is a wicked opponent!" In advance of the World Cup, the Brits had to take a defeat. They wanted to set up their camp in the Velmore Grande Hotel, but the German Football Association was quicker than the English – and now we're preparing in luxury five-star accommodation for victory on Sunday.
