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.

The St Jude storm disrupted a Commons meeting set to hear evidence of how transport copes with bad weather.

Due to the knock-on effect of the winds, the House of Commons Transport Committee amended its hearing on transport’s winter-resilience plans. A spokeswoman said: “Arrangements for the Transport Committee’s first evidence session on transport’s winter resilience have been revised because of transport disruption caused by today’s storm.”
