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.

The Israeli army has found the corpses of three teenagers missing since 12 June in a field west of the West Bank city of Hebron, with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's cabinet due to meet to weigh a response.

The discovery of the corpses of Naftali Frankel, 16, Gilad Shaer 16, and Eyal Yifrach, 19, is sure to touch off widespread grief and anger in Israeli society, large swathes of which had virtually adopted them as their own children.
