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.

Red Bull Racing owner Dietrich Mateschitz has pledged to pay bonuses to every single member of his "dream team", including the cleaners.

The Austrian energy drinks billionaire has admitted to being "very nervous" in watching Sunday's Abu Dhabi Grand Prix before Sebastian Vettel clinched the drivers' title. "It will take some time until I understand it properly," Mateschitz said.

Confirming bonuses would be paid, Mateschitz said: "Championship bonuses are in every contract. I guess we can afford this." Asked if it included the receptionist and cleaning staff, he replied: "In every contract."
