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.

Coalition fear

THE DISTINCTION between the executive and the legislature has been blurred because the Government seems to have set up a "private coalition" with the Liberal Democrats, Tony Benn, the Labour MP for Chesterfield, complained.

Bug theory

THE MILLENNIUM Bug is more likely to neutralise other countries' weapons systems than to set them off in a nuclear holocaust, said the Defence Procurement minister, Lord Gilbert.

Today's Business

The Commons: the Queen's Speech debate on Foreign Affairs and Defence, and a short debate on engineering advice for the alleviation of poverty in the Third World.

The Lords: Not sitting.
