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.

Rock stars die in air crash

Rio de Janeiro - All five members of one of Brazil's hottest rock bands, Mamonas Assassinas, died when their private jet crashed a few miles outside Sao Paulo. The crash on Saturday killed all nine people aboard, including two assistants for the band, the pilot and co-pilot. Their Learjet hit a mountain in the Serra da Cantareira range moments after traffic control at Sao Paulo's Guarulhos Airport gave the pilot approval to begin landing operations. The cause has not been determined. AP
