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.Joe Biden welcomed children to the White House on Take Your Child to Work Day (27 April).
The US president was surrounded by youngsters on the South Lawn.
Children were invited to watch a “kids briefing” from White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre in the press briefing room.When Ms Jean-Pierre was asked by a child about Mr Biden’s position on addressing gun violence, she said that he “wants to make sure you all are safe.”
The event, promoted by nonprofit Take Our Daughters and Sons to Work Foundation, is celebrating its 30th anniversary this year.
The organisation hopes more workplaces remind people of the importance of showing children what their parents do for a living.
