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.

Moors murderer Ian Brady has said Myra Hindley should never be freed, striking a blow to her public campaign to gain her freedom.

In a letter from high security Ahsworth hospital, near Liverpool, 59- year-old Brady accused his former lover of making `self-serving' confessions to further Moors Murders.

The letter, sent to an Oxford University Law Society magazine, said that Hindley had mastered the psycho-babble used by those campaigning on her behalf.

Brady said that her statements over the years used "illogical extension, the circular argument, the red herring and argumentum ad hominem''.
