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.A hitlist of MPs who voted for the Iraq war was today removed from an extremist website after the Home Office urged the US to act against it.
The post on the revolutionmuslim.com site yesterday hailed the student who tried to kill Labour's Stephen Timms as a "heroine" and encouraged others to follow her example.
A Home Office spokesman said: "We did get in touch with the US government about it and it has come down."
The site was among those cited as an influence by Roshonara Choudhry, 21, who was jailed for life this week for stabbing East Ham MP Mr Timms twice in the stomach at his surgery.
"We ask Allaah for her action to inspire Muslims to raise the knife of Jihaad against those who voted for the countless rapes, murders, pillages, and torture of Muslim civilians as a direct consequence of their vote," yesterday's post said.
