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 Rolling Stones surprised fans yesterday by releasing a new single that wasn't that bad.

Despite being their first single in six years (and not having had a hit in a helluva lot longer than that), "Doom and Gloom" finds the band (average age now 68) on fine form. The track, which debuted on Chris Evans's Radio 2 breakfast show, is a playful blues-rock banger that is probably closest in scope to their 1972 classic Exile on Main Street. It is also one of two new tracks that will appear on GRRR!, a greatest-hits compilation to be released next month in celebration of the band's 50th anniversary.

The Stones for Glastonbury 2013? Oh go on, guys.
