The Week in Review
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 week started well for Arsenal footballer Ian Wright, who was on the winning side as Sheffield Wednesday were beaten 2-1 in the Coca-Cola Cup final, and he took his season's goal total to 27 in Wednesday's 1-1 draw with Nottingham Forest. But a broken toe means he misses England's World Cup game with the Netherlands at Wembley on 28 April as he fights to be fit for next month's FA Cup final.
