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.

Swedish telecoms giant Ericsson has launched a US lawsuit against South Korean rival Samsung.

Ericsson said it has "tried long and hard to amicably come to an agreement with Samsung" and insisted "we have turned to litigation as a last resort".

It claims Samsung had refused to sign a licence to use its technology on terms Ericsson regards as fair. Samsung said that it will "take all necessary legal measures to protect against Ericsson's excessive claims".
