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.

Dr Dre's 20-year-old son has died, the rapper's publicist said last night

"Dr Dre is mourning the loss of his son, Andre Young Jr," publicist Lori Earl said in a statement.

Mr Young Jr, who was named after his father, was found dead on Saturday by his mother at their home in suburban Woodland Hills, LA, the county coroner's office said.

A post mortem was performed on Monday, but the cause of death wasn't likely to be determined for eight weeks while toxicology tests are done
