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.Maybe there is some vague method to David Cameron's madness at not including more women in his cabinet: to save them from the belittling cries of the photographers camped outside 10 Downing Street.
The Education Secretary Nicky Morgan was leaving the Prime Minister's residence this morning after a pre-Budget Cabinet meeting when a photographer cried out to her and the Energy Secretary Amber Rudd.
The photographer in question shouted "Morning girls" at Ms Morgan and Ms Rudd, prompting laughter from the other cameramen and causing the Education Secretary to say "Girls?!" in a less than impressed manner. She pointed at the photographer in question, sarcastically replying, "Thank you."
The man can be heard saying "I apologise" as Ms Morgan and Ms Rudd make their way to the Commons for the first Conservative Budget for 18 years.
