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.

The European Union yesterday provoked a new transatlantic rift when it rejected US calls to sever diplomatic links with Iran, which Washington accuses of supporting Hamas, the Islamic militant group, writes Sarah Helm. The US has asked the EU to cut ties with Tehran as part of a series of tough new measures aimed at curbing Islamic militancy in the wake of the Hamas bomb attacks in Israel.
