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.

Watch live as Florida governor Ron DeSantis makes a statement at the Moms for Liberty presidential summit on Friday, 30 June.

Former president Donland Trump and GOP candidate Nikki Haley will also give speeches at the Moms for Liberty presidential summit later today.

Mr DeSantis has come under scrutiny and has been accused of breaking the law after his campaign team shared an image on Twitter of Mr DeSantis exiting a helicopter that records show is owned by the Texas Department of Public Safety.

Texas state law outlaws the use of public funds and resources to support a candidate for office, and legal experts argue that the use of local government resources in a political ad is a campaign finance violation.
