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.

Reddit is down in a major outage.

Visitors to the forum instead saw an array of messages that indicated there was a technical problem.

The issues appeared to apply only to the web version. Reddit is still accessible through its official app. Even on the web, the issue appeared sporadic, and opening the site without being logged in might force it to work.

Reddit said that it was aware of the problem, in an update posted to its official status page.

“We are currently experience a performance degradation of our service. We are working to fix the problem,” it said.
