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.

Mr Bush, 61, a businessman, and his wife Maria are among 13 new members of the finance team for Mr Cruz’s White House campaign. All are erstwhile supporters of other candidates, including Jeb Bush and Marco Rubio.
