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.

Sir: Graham Finch (letter, 25 January) is strangely confused. The Bobby and Cecil Womack song with the line 'She hurt my nose open, that's no lie', is of course, 'It's All Over Now', with which the Rolling Stones had a No 1 hit (if memory serves) in about 1965. The line 'She blew my nose and then she blew my mind' is from the Jagger-Richards composition 'Honky Tonk Woman', recorded somewhat subsequently.

Sorry to be so vague about the dates, but as Fairport Convention so memorably sang it: 'Who nose where the time goes?'

Yours faithfully,
