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.l like Judge Michael Coombe (Quotes, 9 June) I deplore the use of the word "partner" to describe any kind of dalliance between man and woman. It's fine if you're playing bridge or are a businessman but has no recognition in law and lacks the dignity that marriage endows.

l Anne Farlow (Letters, 9 June) implies that there is an association between low unemployment in Norfolk and the "After you" attitude of the county's motorists. Driving along a Norwich throughfare yesterday, I was forced to swerve and halt in order to avoid a car that leapt from a parking space. Obviously mindful of the "After you"principle, the driver snarled, "Get you a-going. You ain't been hit." Deeming it unwise to raise the question of his employment status, I obeyed his command.

l how I wish I lived in the mythical area of Inverpatrick instead of Aberdeen ("Sorted", Business, 9 June). First-class mail posted in central London regularly fails to arrive the next day and first-class mail sent to Glasgow frequently takes longer than second-class. That said, second- class mail to Oban arrives promptly next morning!
