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.

There are few things more forlorn than a comedian when the crowd's stopped listening. It's fair to say that Electric Six's appeal has become more selective since their "Gay Bar" and "Danger! High Voltage" heyday.

Which is a shame, because Dick Valentine's absurdist humour, big voice and rampaging rock disco can still be immensely entertaining. The lust-crazed "Graphic Designer" is wonderfully ridiculous, and the line "come lose your ooze upon my knee" is either disgusting, brilliant or both.

Pick of the album: Wiccan wickedness: 'We Were Witchy Witchy White Women'
