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.India's governing party yesterday sacked two top officials tainted by corruption scandals that have embarrassed the country as it aspires to superpower status. The Congress Party said it was removing the party's parliament secretary, Suresh Kalmadi, who was in charge of the Commonwealth Games, and Ashok Chavan, chief minister of Maharashtra, because of a housing scam in Mumbai.
Congress has also ordered high-level investigations into both sets of allegations. The sackings followed weeks of outcry by India's nationalist opposition.
