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 ROYAL Ulster Constabulary was early today investigating three bodies found in separate locations in a small area of south Armagh, writes Ian MacKinnon.
The republican area is a notorious IRA dumping ground for people shot for allegedly informing to the security forces.
A Catholic priest crossing the border discovered the body of a man in his twenties who had been dead only a short time. Fr John Duffy, from Dundalk, Co Louth, said the man was lying beside the road, hooded, naked and badly mutilated with something tied to his foot.
Priests in Crossmaglen said they had been called out to administer the last rites to a man found at Keegan's Shed on the Crossmaglen to Cullaville road, near the border with Co Louth.
The RUC said it was unlikely the other reports would be investigated until first light because of the danger of booby traps.
