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.Doctors have refused to release the Duke of Edinburgh from hospital, forcing him to spend a fourth night away from the Royal Family – and his beloved Boxing Day shoot – following emergency heart surgery.
A spokesperson from Papworth Hospital, in Cambridgeshire, where the 90-year-old is recovering after being taken ill on Friday suffering from chest pains, said Prince Philip would remain under observation but was "in good spirits".
The Queen's husband underwent minor surgery over the weekend to insert a stent, opening an artery that had been blocked.
A Buckingham Palace spokesman confirmed he had not been given a release date. "The Duke will remain in hospital under observation for a short period," he said.
Prince Philip's stay in hospital meant he missed the traditional Royal Family Christmas at Sandringham House, in Norfolk, an event he has attended for the past 50 years.
