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.IT IS absurd that MPs should have to vote for money to fund their offices ('Cheques and balances', 19 July). If they are not provided with adequate resources we will end up with a second-class service from them, just like British Rail and London Underground, to name but two.
MPs who voted against this increase, can do without it; no doubt they will refuse anything more than the pounds 4,200 that John Major wanted them to have.
