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.

An Afghan official says a bombing in eastern Afghanistan has killed a city police commander and three other officers.

Kapisa provincial government spokesman Qais Qaderi says a convoy of police vehicles was driving in the provincial capital of Mahmud-i-Raqi earlier Sunday when a roadside bomb exploded, striking the second vehicle and killing all four people inside.

Qaderi says the bomb appeared to have been detonated remotely.

He says that Mahmud-i-Raqi police commander Jan Agha Faizi died in the blast and that he was the likely target of the attack.
