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.

A dinosaur which had a "crown of horns" and lived between 65 and 100 million years ago has been unearthed by scientists.

Kosmoceratops richardsoni was a cousin of the triceratops, but instead of just three horns it had 15 sprouting from its nose, above each eye and from its cheeks, and a bony frill with 10 more horns. It was found with fossils of another dinosaur in the US state of Utah.
