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.The Liberal Democrats declared today "National Don't Get Sick" day to draw attention to the shortage of doctors on wards.
A former junior doctor, Liberal Democrat MP Dr Evan Harris, said today that in hospitals all over Britain junior doctors would be taking to the wards, and they would be unsupervised. Hospital doctors call this "Don't Get Sick" day because they hope pressures on freshers are not too great, said Dr Harris, a junior doctor in Liverpool and Oxford before he became a registrar.
