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 letter bomb sent to the step-mother of Austria's interior minister is the work of the extreme-rightist group or individual responsible for five earlier series, a senior police officer said.
Chief Inspector Robert Sturm said the letter bomb, which exploded on Monday while being examined by police, was "with certainty" made by the so-called Bayuvarian Liberation Front, the rabidly anti-foreigner group behind most of over a dozen letter bombs posted since December 1993.
