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 male giant panda at Edinburgh Zoo has been taken ill suffering from colic.

Yang Guang, eight, has retreated from public view to his sick bed while he recovers from the mild illness.

The panda arrived at the zoo from China on 4 December, along with the female, Tian Tian.

The pair, whose names mean Sunshine and Sweetie, are the first giant pandas to live in Britain for 17 years.
