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 good day for:

Elvis Presley, whose 61st birthday was marked by the first performance of the "Elvis Symphony" by the Memphis Symphony Orchestra. "It kind of carried you through the whole of his career," a spokesman explained.

A bad day for:

John Major, who was voted the person curry lovers would least like to dine with. The second-least favourite curry companion was Margaret Thatcher, followed by Loyd Grossman. The name that curried most favour was Imran Khan.
