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.

The floods that devastated communities across Britain could be set to return as forecasters warned another two days of heavy rain were on the way.

Showers are predicted across large swathes of south-west England and Wales tonight following bad weather conditions yesterday.

There are 11 flood warnings in place with previously badly hit areas of the North-east and Wales all adversely effected once again.

The Met Office has issued severe warnings for south-west England, the West Midlands and Wales.

Chris Burton, a forecaster for MeteoGroup, said southern areas could see between 20mm and 40mm of rain with the figure rising to 60mm on higher ground.
