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.The Memphis Grizzlies are clearly full of Christmas spirit.
Not only are they, somewhat surprisingly, holders of the second best record in the NBA with a quarter of the season gone, but they know how to make their staff happy.
Last night, the players revealed on social media that they had chipped in to buy a new car for an intern named Brandon after he had recently had his car stolen.
Brandon, who works as a Team Personnel assistant, was suitably shocked and delighted, getting hugs from the likes of Vince Carter, Mike Conley and Courtney Lee.
Lee, who filmed Brandon's reaction, posted to Instagram: "Good start to today, Brandon 1 of our team assistants car was stolen not to long ago so as a team we all donated a little something to make his Christmas special."
