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.

Your support makes all the difference.

A bomb exploded without warning outside a village police station in Ulster last night. The station in Tempo, Co Fermanagh, was unmanned at the time and there were no reports of injuries. Police said a van by the station burst into flames, but were unsure whether it had contained a bomb or been used to launch some sort of device. The blast came hours after it was confirmed that SDLP leader John Hume and Sinn Fein's Gerry Adams had held more talks on the peace process.

n A Belfast man has been remanded on a charge of conspiring to murder members of the security forces in an IRA rocket attack outside the city's Royal Courts of Justice. The solicitor acting for 27-year-old Brendan Hugh McIlvenny said his client would plead not guilty.
