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.An application for bail by Roisin McAliskey, who is suspected of being involved in IRA terrorist activities, was yesterday adjourned until Friday. Ms McAliskey, 25, the daughter of the former Ulster MP Bernadette Devlin, is being held in Holloway prison in north London as a Category A prisoner and has been warned that she may not be allowed to keep her baby when it is born in two months' time. Her continued detention has enraged human rights activists.
Ms McAliskey is being held in jail pending extradition to Germany, where she is wanted in connection with the attempted mortar attack on a British Army base in Osnabruck last year. She denies any involvement and has not so far been charged with any offence. Steve Boggan
