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.

Two Palestinian terrorists who carried out a bombing campaign against Jewish targets in London were each jailed for 20 years at the Old Bailey yesterday.

Samar Alami and Jawad Botmeh were part of a terrorist cell which was put in place to sabotage the Middle East peace process with two massive car bombs which rocked the Israeli embassy and a Jewish charity in July 1994.

Both had used their student status in the United Kingdom as a cover for their terrorist activities.
