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.

Police in Florida have released the recording of a emergency call made by a woman after she saw the body of one of the two British holidaymakers found shot dead on a street in Sarasota.

"We seen a white dude laying, he's... blood everywhere, he's just laid out," the woman is heard telling a 911 dispatcher in the call made at 2.56am on Saturday. "I don't know if he's dead or not."

Shawn Tyson, 16, has been charged with two counts of first-degree homicide.
