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.

Hearts owner Vladimir Romanov called his critics "fools and idiots" yesterday in defending his decision to remove Jim Jefferies as manager after he rejected Romanov's offer to become director of football, and put in Paulo Sergio instead.

The Lithuanian said: "Judging by the pre-planned squeals the media monkeys are making, Hearts has hit the point with the move... with only one win in 15 games, only fools and idiots would not raise questions."
