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.An inquiry was under way yesterday after two workers were killed as they carried out maintenance on a railway line.
The men died instantly when they were struck by the 0824 Wales and West Services train from Portsmouth to Swansea at the Ebbw Junction near Newport. Inspector Peter Murphy of British Transport Police said: "A warning was given. All but two responded to the warning." The two men were from the South Wales area.
