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.

A spat broke out yesterday between campaigners on Welsh devolution as the "No" lobby accused their opponents of breaking a mutually-agreed moratorium on political activity.

The "Just Say No" campaign issued a press release to attack the "Yes for Wales" group after apparently being asked by a Labour association to attend a meeting.

A spokesman for the "No" group said it had been told the meeting at Greenfield would go ahead with a speaker from the "yes" campaign alone if the group did not send anyone.

"We will continue throughout the whole of the week to refuse to partake in any form of campaigning whatsoever. To do otherwise would be to disrespect the wish of the whole nation at this incredibly sad time," he said.

Darren Hill, organiser of "Yes for Wales", responded by saying that to comment on the allegations would be distasteful at a time when campaigning was supposed to have stopped.
