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.

Turkey's state news agency says three people have been injured in an explosion at a university in Istanbul.

The Anadolu Agency said the blast occurred in a restroom of the Istanbul University on Tuesday. It says the cause of the blast is not clear.

Kurdish, leftist and radical Islamic militants have carried out bomb attacks in Istanbul in the past. But it is not clear whether the blast was an act of terrorism.
