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.New Zealand's Prime Minister John Key was elected to a second term in office yesterday, following a hard-fought campaign focused on high levels of public debt.
With most of the votes counted, his National Party was projected to win 60 of the 121 seats in parliament. The opposition Labour Party, which had sought to balance books through increased taxes and a raised retirement age, lost seats.
Phil Goff, Labour's leader, said the party was "bloodied, but not defeated".
