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.

We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.The Slovak parliament brushed aside worries about the country's relationship with Nato and the European Union by approving the first of several controversial laws.
Deputies of the three-party coalition approved a law giving the public prosecutor's office unprecedented supervisory and executive powers which even President Michal Kovac has rejected. Yesterday's vote was taken a day after the US and EU ambassadors indicated Slovakia must improve its record on democratic reform and commitment to the rule of law if it wants to join the EU and Nato.
