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.

Four discs, 48 songs, 27 years… If ever a rock band deserved the heritage treatment then this one does.

The Heartbreakers belong to that grand American tradition which says that rock music may aspire to timelessness: a great band is for all time and not just its moment. And like the E Street Band, the ’breakers are so skilled and committed in all that they do that every minute is pregnant with the spirit of revival. Here they tackle their own stuff, non-chronologically, plus Booker T, the Dead and John Barry. Accomplished.
