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.At least two of the 44 people whose charred remains were recovered from the ruins of a religious cult's Texas compound died of gunshot wounds to the head, Reuter reports from Fort Worth.
The presence of gunshot wounds could help determine if some of the cult members who perished in last week's inferno were murdered trying to escape or hit by ammunition exploding in the heat. As many as 86 members who were followers of the cult leader David Koresh died at the complex near Waco, and federal authorities say they committed mass suicide by setting the place ablaze.
