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.

The Black Friday sale sees impressive deals on children’s toys, TVs, household appliances, beauty favorites and more. But perhaps there’s nothing that you need right now, or you’ve made a pact with your other half to forgo gifts this year. If you want to shop bargains year round and make an investment this Black Friday, retail warehouse giant Costco has come through with a pretty sweet deal.
The one-stop shop has everything you need – from clothing and food to pet products. Similar to Amazon, Target and Walmart, in that you can buy pretty much everything in one place, but at Costco, you can also buy in bulk, making it the perfect place for businesses to stock up.
Right now, if you purchase the gold-star Costco one-year membership, you’ll be emailed a gift card to spend in-store. So the next time you’re getting gas or stocking up on pizza, you can shop for even less.
