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.

JUST AS one Goldman Sachs grande fromage departs from the pinnacle of American politics, another leaps forwards to start his own ascent up the greasy pole.

Robert Rubin stood down as Treasury Secretary yesterday. At the same time John Corzine, his former colleague at Goldman who resigned as chairman after losing the flotation argument, fanned expectations that he will run for the Senate.

Mr Corzine is planning to compete for the New Jersey seat now occupied by Frank Lautenberg.

And if being a candidate in American elections means spending a lot of money, Mr Corzine, a Democrat, is well placed. After the flotation of the investment bank, his fortune is reckoned at $300m.
