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.After Boris's barnstormer on Letterman's Late Show in June, the Prime Minister David Cameron had a hard act to follow when he appeared on the same talk show last night.
Letterman gave him a pretty esoteric quiz of British general knowledge. Dave failed, incorrectly naming Elgar as the writer of 'Rule Britannia' and he didn't know the English translation of Magna Carta either. But he did know his stuff when it came to Texas and Nebraska. What does that say about our national self-esteem?
He also got in a good boast about Britain's superior rules as regards campaign funding.
