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.Andrew Mitchell has agreed to meet the Police Federation to answer questions over his clash with Downing Street police, it was reported last night.
The chief whip will meet representatives on 12 October, after the Conservative Party conference, The Sun tweeted. Mr Mitchell, 56, has been keeping a low profile since the furore erupted over claims he called police officer "plebs" and repeatedly swore at them when they stopped him from cycling through the Downing Street gates last month.
