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.

When the gentle winds of banter meet the cold front of royalty the resulting shower is usually enough to bring on a shiver and a curling of the toes. But Prince Charles was, dare we say it, quite funny yesterday when he paused a tour of BBC Scotland's Glasgow headquarters to deliver the weather forecast.

Newsreader Sally Magnusson handed over to the Prince, whose script on Reporting Scotland's lunchtime weather included references to royal residences. "But a cold day everywhere with temperatures of just 8C and a brisk, northerly wind," he ended. "Thank God it isn't a bank holiday!"
