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.Southern China is bracing for its second powerful storm in less than a week, as the death toll from floods and landslides caused by rain reached 700.
Tropical storm Chanthu is expected to make landfall in Guangdong and Hainan provinces on Thursday. The government has advised people to stay indoors.
Typhoon Conson skirted the resort island of Hainan last week, killing two people. Much of southern and central China has been suffering flooding and landslides after weeks of downpours.
At least 701 people have died since the start of the year as a result of the rains, and 347 are missing.
