Your support helps us to tell the story

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.

Man shot dead

in Ulster

A man in his early forties was shot dead in a gun attack at a bar in a loyalist area of Northern Ireland last night.

The man was hit three times in the head and body and died at the scene on an estate in Ballymena, Co Antrim. Police did not believe the motive for the attack, launched by two men, was sectarian. The Royal Ulster Constabulary said the victim had no connection with the security forces.
