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.

Bulgarian tornado hits village

A TORNADO swept through southern Bulgaria, injuring four people and leaving hundreds without shelter. The whirlwind hit the village of Zhaltusha, 190 miles south-east of Sofia, blowing tiles off 300 houses, lifting the entire roofs of another 15, and severing power-lines. About 1,000 of the village's 1,700 people were left homeless and have been evacuated to nearby villages.
