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.

Sir: The pantomime season is upon us, and once again the British and American governments have resuscitated their favourite pantomime demon, Saddam Hussein, all to bring to an early close that other long-running show, Impeachment. How many Iraqis must die to save the neck of one American? There were no grounds for impeaching Bill Clinton before Wednesday night. By manufacturing a military campaign for personal political advantage, he has shown his utter unfitness for the highest office. He should resign at once.
