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.

Harlem, Montana (AP) - Thirteen crewmen aboard two USAF

C-141 cargo planes are feared dead after their aircraft collided in mid- air on Monday night during a training exercise over Montana. Nine bodies have been found. Colonel Dick Fanjoy, vice commander of the 43rd air refuelling wing at Malmstrom Air Force Base in Great Falls, said investigators did not think weather was a factor in the crash.

In Washington yesterday, the captain and seven crewmen of the USS Saratoga heard they will face a disciplinary hearing after an accidental missile firing that killed five Turkish sailors on 2 October. The decision, in effect, rejects Turkey's call for a full court martial.
