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.

Pakistan has lashed out at Washington for accusing the ISI spy agency of supporting extremist attacks against US targets in Afghanistan.

Pakistani Foreign Minister Hina Rabbani Khar warned the US that it risked losing Pakistan as an ally. "If they are choosing to do so, it will be at their own cost," Ms Khar said. "Anything which is said about an ally, about a partner publicly to recriminate it, to humiliate it is not acceptable."

The US military chief, Admiral Mike Mullen had described a Taliban faction as a "veritable arm" of the ISI.
