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.DOMINIC McGLINCHEY, who was at one stage Ireland's most notorious republican gunman, was in hospital under armed guard last night after an assassination attempt on Saturday night, writes David McKittrick.
McGlinchey, 38, a former chief of staff of the tiny but ferocious Irish National Liberation Army, was attacked by at least one gunman. He was shot in the head and both hands near the Co Louth border town of Dundalk. He was not badly injured and his condition was said to be stable. It is assumed his attackers were former associates from the INLA, an organisation whose history has been marked by recurring internal feuding.
