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.The Unions may be in decline, but there is still one band of brothers who stick together through thick and thin, especially when they think the whole world is against them: the England football team. The latest own goal from this collection of bejewelled millionaires was a refusal to speak to the media after their World Cup qualifying match against Poland. This attempt to communicate their disgust at "unfair treatment" in the press only succeeded in making their judgement look as sound as David James's goalkeeping. Maintaining a dignified silence is one thing when you lose, but doing it after you've won, as England did on Wednesday, just looks puerile and petty. In the end there is only one way to silence the critics: keep winning.
