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.

A solicitor who has been the subject of allegedly defamatory postings on a website called Solicitors From Hell won an interim injunction yesterday against the man who runs the operation, ordering him to remove the allegations from the site.

Mr Justice Edwards-Stuart granted the order against Rick Kordowski following an application by a barrister representing Anna Mazzola, a solicitor with the London law firm Hickman Rose, following a brief hearing in the Queen's Bench Division of the High Court. It is exceptionally rare for courts to grant interim injunctions in defamation cases.
