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.

The old adage about tourists who travel without ever experiencing the country they visit also applies to world statesmen. George Bush becomes the first US President to visit Iraq in order to provide the television pictures required by his re-election campaign for Thanksgiving. And in order to beat Hillary Rodham Clinton, his undeclared Democratic opponent, who is on her way to Baghdad from Afghanistan.

Memo to Mr William Hill: how do the odds on Tony Blair arriving in Basra this Christmas compare with those on a snowflake on the roof of the Met office?
