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.A Catholic man was shot dead at his home in Co Tyrone last night as loyalist paramilitary groups maintained their campaign of violence.
The father of four was hit by shots fired through the window of his home at Derrymagowan near the town of Moy. The location is in the so-called 'murder triangle' area where Ulster Volunteer Force gunmen have been particularly active in recent years. A child was also injured in the attack.
The man was named as John Molloy. One immediate theory was that he may have been killed in mistake for a Sinn Fein councillor, Francie Molloy, who lives nearby.
