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 cache of weapons, including 21 machine guns, has been stolen from a Los Angeles police Swat training site.
The 30 weapons were altered to fire only blanks, but officials told the Los Angeles Times that they could be converted back to lethal use.
The Deputy Chief of LAPD, Michael Downing, said the weapons were moved on Wednesday to a building and stored in a locked box on the first floor. They were gone when a Swat unit arrived the following morning. AP
