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 tensions over the Waco tragedy are such that Ann Richards, the Texas Governor, telephoned the US Attorney-General, Janet Reno, in an apparent attempt to remind her that investigations are led by the Texas Rangers and not bureaucrats in the Department of Justice, Phil Reeves reports from Waco.
Among the issues upsetting state officials are claims by the department that some of the corpses of cult members had recent bullet wounds, encouraging speculation that they either committed suicide or were shot by Koresh or his henchmen.
