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: Blair comes across smoothly as the saviour of the Balkan peasantry, but only when his pal Clinton is in domestic trouble and searching for a far-flung war which he hopes will deflect attention away from his extramarital affairs.

It is times like these which reveal the profound cynicsm of the "special relationship". Suddenly, overnight, the friends of Noriega, Saddam, General Zia, Papa Doc, Peron, Batista and Pol Pot, become the champions of the oppressed.
