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.

Catholics across Scotland will hear a statement at Mass this morning confirming that the missing bishop of Argyll, Roderick Wright, is with an as yet unnamed woman.

It has emerged that no one has heard from the Rt Rev Wright, 56, since last Monday when he tried to contact the head of the Church of Scotland, Cardinal Thomas Winning.

The Cardinal was not available and the bishop has not been in contact since. He has failed to keep appointments with church officials. It is not known when Bishop Wright, who lives alone in a house beside St Columba's Cathedral in Oban, left town, although he has not been seen since the middle of last week.
