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.

The fourth solo album from Doughty is his most focused and upbeat to date.

Almost every track sounds like a potential single in an indie rock/ Americana kind of way, in particular the sublime "Holiday" – a moving yet cheering duet with Rosanne Cash. Soul Coughing fans may still miss the edgy beat-poet Dadaist that fronted that innovative and underrated 1990s band, but now that the man's happier in his own skin he's a far more formidable talent.
