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.

Political issues at home and abroad occupy many of the front pages of Monday’s newspapers.

The fallout from the Government’s first Budget continues to occupy The Daily Telegraph, which says Chancellor Rachel Reeves has insisted the country could not afford to let all farms pass on their estates without paying inheritance tax.

The Guardian looks across the Atlantic as it focuses on US presidential rivals Kamala Harris and Donald Trump making their “final push” in swing states ahead of Tuesday’s election.

The US election also occupies the front of the i, which reports on a poll which says more Britons feel a win by Vice President Harris would benefit the UK.

Several titles carry pictures of Spain’s King Felipe visiting a town hit by flash floods, the Metro reporting he faced shouts of “murderer” as people threw mud at him in anger over the response and lack of preparations.

The Sun reports on the state of the Duke of York’s home in Windsor.

A Chinese tax crackdown occupies the Financial Times, which says the move threatens to hit investor confidence.
