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.

KUWAIT (Reuter) - The Emir of Kuwait, Sheikh Jaber al-Ahmed al-Sabah, accepted the resignation of the prime minister and the cabinet yesterday, two days after elections in the emirate produced a parliament likely to press for the government to be made more accountable.

The resignation, to allow the Emir to appoint a new cabinet, follows Kuwait's first poll in six years for a fully elected parliament, in which government opponents won between 27 and 35 of the 50 elected seats.
