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.

Police have made an appeal for information relating to 15-year-old Heba Abdel-Jaber, a girl from West Yorkshire who has been missing for two days.

She was last seen wearing her Holmfirth High School uniform on Friday as she left school. She did not return home that afternoon, and police have begun to search for her.

Police believe she could be in the Scissett area, near Huddersfield, and could now be wearing grey Nike tracksuit bottoms or blue skinny jeans, with a red and white crop top.

She may also be carrying a black and brown backpack with the letter 'MI' on it.

Anyone with information is advised to call the police on 101.
