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.

Watch a view of Buckingham Palace on Tuesday (6 February) after King Charles announced he has been diagnosed with cancer.

The announcement on Monday came after the monarch, 75, underwent surgery for an enlarged prostate last month.

Prince William is expected to shoulder some of his father’s responsibilities as he resumes official engagements this week, while Prince Harry will travel to the UK to see Charles in the coming days, a source close to the Duke of Sussex has said.

President Joe Biden said he was “concerned” about the King and hoped to speak with him soon, “God willing”.

Earlier this week, the monarch was seen waving and walking with the Queen by his side on his first public outing since the treatment.

On Sunday, Charles was pictured attending a church service at St Mary Magdalene Church in Sandringham, giving a smile and wave to photographers outside.
