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.A right-wing extremist was sentenced yesterday to four months in jail for placing a curse of death on the late Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin two weeks before his assassination in November 1995. Avigdor Eskin was convicted in May for incitement to violence because he performed the death wish in front of television cameras.
Eskin and others performed a "pulsa denura" ceremony outside Rabin's home in Tel Aviv. A pulsa denura is a Jewish mystical curse which calls for the death of a deserving person. AP - Jerusalem
