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.

Joe Biden addressed teachers and representatives from the National Education Association.

Biden returned from a holiday weekend in Delaware and is due to speak in front of the members of the National Education Association during an event Tuesday, along with first lady Jill Biden. Recently, President Joe Biden unveiled a “new path” for student debt relief that, he assured, is “legally sound” but will “take longer”.

In remarks from the White House on 30 June, the president hit out at Republican state officials and legislators who supported the lawsuit which enabled the nation’s highest court to strike down his student debt forgiveness initiative, accusing many of them of hypocrisy for taking money from pandemic-era relief programs while opposing relatively meagre relief for student loan borrowers.

The US President and the first lady are expected to host a barbecue for military families to celebrate the 4th of July later in the afternoon.
