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.

OJ Simpson's eight-year-old son wrote a fictional murder mystery for a school assignment that ended with his father being the killer, a television station reported.

The story, which featured a killer holding a hostage with a knife and machine-gun, was written by Justin Simpson in autumn and was used as evidence in the battle between Mr Simpson and his former in-laws for custody of Justin and his 11-year-old sister, Sydney, KCBS-TV reported. Mr Simpson was awarded full custody of his two younger children on Friday. They had been living with their maternal grandparents since their mother, Nicole Brown Simpson and her friend, Ronald Goldman, were killed in June 1994.

Mr Simpson was acquitted in October 1995 of double murder in the deaths of Goldman and Simpson. He is now being sued for wrongful death by the estate of Simpson and the Goldman family.
