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.

David Cameron talks to RAF pilot Andy Green about the British-built Bloodhound SCC Jet Car, that he will drive to try and smash the World land speed record of 763mph.

The supercar was inspected by the Prime Minister at Downing Street on Monday, the day he announced an initiative to create 100,000 engineering jobs. Bloodhound SSC is designed to travel at 1,000mph, is approximately 14 metres in length and weighs over 7 tonnes
