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.The IRA used a newly developed type of mortar bomb in an attack which killed a civilian working at a joint RUC-Army base at Keady, south Armagh, yesterday. Nigel McCollum, of Sandholes, Co Tyrone, was operating a crane in the security complex when he was caught in the blast from one of three large bombs lobbed over the high security walls. Three workers were slightly injured. Two police officers were injured last night in a bomb attack in the centre of Lurgan, Co Armagh.
