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.

The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum.

We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Diplomatic moves to invite the Queen to the Republic of Ireland could begin tomorrow with the visit to London of Mary Robinson, the Irish President.
The Queen is due to attend a reception held by three Irish colleges at St James's Palace tomorrow to welcome Mrs Robinson to the capital. Irish diplomatic sources said it was unlikely that Mrs Robinson would use the opportunity to pass on a formal invitation, but their meeting is certain to fuel speculation that the ground is being laid for an historic visit.
