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.

Following her official announcement that she is launching a second attempt to run for the White House, Hillary Clinton has been facing some harsh criticism, but not just over her policies or her record.

The online conversation hasn't just been about her video launch - which came a few hours after its expected time - or the fact she could soon be the first female president of the United States. The former Secretary of State has been getting a lot of stick on Twitter for her choice of campaign logo.

It's a blue ‘H,’ symbolising her name, clearly, and a red arrow, no doubt noting her aim to move things forward.

All of Clinton’s social media channels have been given the new branding. And granted, much of her abuse appears to have come from those who oppose her, Republicans, but pretty much everyone has something to say about it.

And that’s not all. Clinton has also come under fire for an “embarrassing mistake” in her announcement to reporters, the Daily Mail says.

It appears she omitted a key word in one of the sentences: apparently the 67 year-old has “fought children and families all her career.” There looks as though there might be a “for” missing there.
