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.

at Lockerbie hearing
Britain faced Libya across the International Court of Justice yesterday and defended its hunt for the bombers of the New-York-bound Pan Am Flight 103, which crashed over Lockerbie nearly nine years ago, killing all 259 people on board and 11 on the ground. Britain and the United States will present a united front during the eight days of hearings. Both have filed counter-motions rejecting Libya's application and contend that the world court does not have jurisdiction over the case.
