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.

Israel's acting foreign minister, Tzipi Livni, today asked the EU not to deal with a "terror government," referring to Hamas's victory in the Palestinian elections.

Livni met the EU envoy to the Middle East, Marc Otte and told him, according to a statement by her office, that "after Hamas took over the Palestinian Authority, the EU has to sound a clear voice explaining there will be no European understanding for a process in which a terror government is being set up."

Livni also spoke by phone with the US Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice.
