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.

The organisation warned that multinational companies in Spain were in the line of fire "to discourage or hinder foreign investments in Spain". It said it planned "firm and systematic armed campaigns" to cause "real damage" to the Spanish economy. The homes and leisure haunts of "rich oligarchs, bankers and economic leaders" would be subject to armed attacks, Eta said in its internal bulletin Zutabe.
Police defused a bomb in a packed tourist hotel at Spain's Pamplona festival yesterday after a tip-off by phone reportedly by Eta, the Navarre regional government said. The 4kg device was found in the Maisonnave hotel in the town, full of tourists for the annual bull-running festival.
Attacks on tourist targets, the most important sector of Spain's economy, would continue, Eta said.
