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.

Jack Bauer Listen Chloe. I need you to transfer $869,000 out of my bank account to a Mexican cattle drover named Michael Wayne Carr.
Chloe O'Brian Why?
Jack This deal is going to make me a lot of money. Carr buys cheap cattle in Mexico, sells it for a mark-up in Texas, then divides the profit with me.
Chloe Is that such a good idea, Jack? How much do we know about this guy? Couldn't it be a scam?
Jack Dammit, Chloe. I just gave you an order and I'd like you to follow it.

Jack Dammit!

Chloe The word from our people in Mexico is that no cows were ever bought down there. And they've never heard of Carr.
Jack That son of a bitch! Fetch my electrodes and put me on a plane to Mexico.
Chloe Is that such a good idea Jack? I mean, are you sure he's actually in Mexico?
Jack Dammit, Chloe!
