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.

WALL STREET stocks fell sharply yesterday, dragged by a sell-off in technology and financial issues after several analysts counselled trimming holdings in the sectors. The Dow Jones fell 174.61 points - 1.6 per cent - to close at 10,654.67, with IBM and Citigroup posting some of the heaviest losses.

The Nasdaq index also closed lower with Internet stocks and other technology issues rattled by interest rate concerns and fading Web euphoria. It closed down 66.49 points - 2.64 per cent - to 2,453.64.
