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 third man has been arrested by detectives investigating the murder of a police officer in Northern Ireland.

A manhunt was launched following Monday's shooting of PC Stephen Carroll in Craigavon, Co Armagh, by dissident republicans. The suspect, in his 20s, joins two others, aged 17 and 37, being questioned by police.

Politicians and leaders from across the community gathered in a show of unity at Mr Carroll's funeral yesterday. The 48-year-old was shot dead by the Continuity IRA while answering a distress call from a woman who had a brick thrown through her window.
