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.

Sir: From different reports in your coverage of the Dunblane tragedy (15 March) I quote two paragraphs.
"Police told the Scottish Secretary privately that they had concerns over Hamilton, but did not have enough evidence to prosecute."
"Last year, Central Scotland Police gave Hamilton a firearms certificate for a 9mm pistol and a .375 revolver, and at the same time, authorised him to buy two more similar weapons."
Is this the same police?
