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.Never let it be said that the purpose of this column is simply to pontificate, to ask rhetorically "why, oh why, oh why?" without ever doing anything practical about the imperfections of which it is only too well aware.

We have, on occasion, expressed a certain amount of scepticism about the way in which the Royal Family sometimes behaves as if it is a rich and private fiefdom. We are pleased, then, that our views should receive support from the Fabian Society, which, as we report today, is calling on the Queen to open her art collection to the public.
We do not merely endorse the Fabians' call, however. We offer an example of how Her Majesty could do it. We are giving our readers the chance to hang a Canaletto in their house for a day. The Queen should offer her fellow citizens similar, but more extensive, opportunities.
