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.

Not quite the bright-eyed eager pup you once were? Finding it a little harder to bend down to pick up the newspaper from the mat, to bound up the stairs, to run after a bus? Joints creaking when you try those old tricks, like catching frisbees in your teeth, digging for rabbits and shaking off water over horrified humans?
Scientists in the United States have come up with the answer. Goodness knows why, but it seems the New Zealand green-lipped mussel is your miracle remedy of choice. Top breeders will soon be recommending it.
Fortunately, fashions in human food consumption are favourable for arthritic dogs. Next time your owner takes you for your daily hobble, drag it down to the nearest trendy eaterie for your shellfish.
Don't forget the chips and mayonnaise.
