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.

Fraud-charge man

to return to UK

AN AUSTRALIAN man yesterday lost his battle against extradition to Britain where he is wanted for a pounds 2m fraud involving diet tea.

Peter Foster, a former lover of ex-Page Three model Samantha Fox, was ordered by judges in Brisbane to face five counts of fraud brought against him by British police in April.

He has been jailed in several countries for producing phoney diet teas and pills. After the hearing Mr Foster produced a written statement saying: "It's like Gallipoli all over again. The British give the orders and we follow them without considering the real risk to life and limb."
