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 two most recent environmental reports on clubs in the top tier of English football have revealed some surprising findings. An inspection of Manchester United's Old Trafford stadium revealed that the club has previously had to deal with the presence of rodents. The report, which also found a broken tap and flaking pipework, instructed United to "continue to monitor and react to the mouse activity".
Chelsea were criticised for almost serving "cooked turkey saddles" that were out of date. They were warned that this was a "serious contravention" of hygiene laws. Health chiefs also expressed concerns about the selling of stockpot and several frozen steak and mushroom pies that were not labelled correctly. A follow-up inspection did find action had been taken and noted hygiene had become "generally excellent".
