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.

TONY BLAIR just doesn't learn. For months, Nato threatened Milosevic with air strikes if he did not comply with demands. He ignored the final, positively the last "no more chances", "we won't tell you again" warnings - and that's how we got into this bloody mess. Now Blair and Clinton are about to repeat their blunder by threatening a ground invasion ("Changing the ground rules," 23 May). Milosevic has even less to lose by calling their latest bluff - in which case we will be into the scenario of British troops getting accidentally bombed by US war planes, if their current accuracy record is anything to go by.
