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.Alastair Campbell broke his silence over Iraq yesterday to insist that Tony Blair would not be deflected by the public hostility to his handling of the crisis.
No 10's director of strategic communications said: "The charge against Tony has been for years that all he does is consult spin doctors and focus groups. He's a person with very strong beliefs who believes in doing what he thinks is right ... trying to get Iraq disarmed peacefully through the UN."
Mr Campbell told LBC 97.3 Radio that the Government was not ignoring the anti-war marchers, but was equally committed to confronting the issue of weapons of mass destruction.
Mr Campbell said: "People underestimate the extent to which senior politicians are actually driven by wanting to do the right thing."
