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.

A photograph of Princess Charlotte in a floral summer dress has been released to mark her sixth birthday on Sunday.

The picture was taken this weekend in Norfolk by her mother, the Duchess of Cambridge.

It follows the release of a video of Charlotte with her brothers George, seven, and Louis, three, and their parents to mark the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge’s 10th wedding anniversary on Thursday.

The new photo was taken in warmer weather with the smiling princess pictured outdoors while wearing a dark blue short sleeved dress with a pink floral design.

The birthday girl’s full title is Her Royal Highness Princess Charlotte Elizabeth Diana of Cambridge.

She was born at the Lindo Wing of St Mary’s Hospital in Paddington on 2 May, 2015, weighing 8lb 3oz.

Kate Middleton is a keen amateur photographer and patron of the Royal Photographic Society and her pictures have regularly been released to mark her children’s birthdays.
