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.

WHAT IS the point of some government ministers complaining about falling standards of English when other government ministers are responsible for it? Norman Lamont is reported as saying that 'this country is a bit of an alibi society'. He doesn't mean that its members want to be somewhere else but explains: 'They want to think it's someone's fault or there are buttons to be pressed.' All he shows is that he doesn't know what alibi means.
