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.MY Heathrow correspondent tells me British Airways is becoming increasingly sensitive about the way it sells all those unwanted bits and pieces of aircraft. Two months ago, I reported that a new division, called Air Trading, had been set up to handle the sale of 'excess' aircraft spares. Now I hear Air Trading's staff have been told, in no uncertain terms, that nobody is to say anything to anybody about the division's activities.
Such is senior management's sensitivity, in fact, that Air Trading was instructed to circulate an internal memo to all departmental heads at Heathrow informing them that any enquiry regarding disposals should be referred to the legal department.
