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.

CAPTAIN Moonlight's Catch-Up Service . . . my exclusive digest of events during the past week which the busy, time-committed person of today might have missed . . . a toad tunnel has been installed near the home of Lord Egremont at Petworth in West Sussex . . . Andy Houldsworth, a Liverpool teacher, has probably the largest Action Man collection in western Europe . . . firemen rescued a cow called Daisy from a swimming pool at Wall, in Northumberland, after it mistook the green plastic cover for grass and fell in . . . Norman Webster, a garage mechanic, is being plagued by a phone pest who rings him three times a week and plays him Des O'Connor records . . . the Spanish nightclub of Ronald Knight, wanted by Scotland Yard in connection with the pounds 6m Security Express robbery, has been burgled. The thieves took his karaoke machine, giant television screen and burglar alarm. 'There's no justice in this world,' said Mr Knight . . . and, with that sad tale, I leave you until next week.
