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.

Police chiefs and organisers of the delayed funeral of a terrorist chief agreed a peace deal in Belfast which allowed the ceremony to go ahead yesterday, a day late. Police believe the INLA leader Gino Gallagher, 32, who was shot dead last Tuesday, was the victim of an internal feud.

The IRA was last night blamed for a rifle attack on the home of an off- duty Royal Ulster Constabulary reservist in which 57 shots were fired, although the RUC officially refused to comment on who was responsible for the attack near Moy, Co Tyrone. The officer and his wife escaped unhurt.
