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.The leader of Greece's main conservative party says the country must hold a snap election once the bond swap called for in a deal with Greece's private creditors is completed.
Antonis Samaras, leader of New Democracy, says his party would ask for parliament to be dissolved and would not agree to the extension of the mandate of the coalition government. Elections are normally due in October 2013.
Samaras has told his lawmakers that they must vote for legislation on more austerity measures so that Greece can get a new bailout deal worth €130bn (£108bn) and, at the same time, reduce its debt burden by about €100bn through the swap deal with private creditors.
Debate on the legislation and a debt-swapping deal with private creditors begins today. A plenary session will debate and vote on it tomorrow.
