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.ZURICH - The owner of the art gallery from which thieves stole seven Picasso paintings at the weekend said yesterday he was not insured, despite being burgled several times in the past.
Max Bollag said he did not have insurance 'because insurance premiums are too high'. He said he was less concerned about the financial aspect than the loss of the paintings themselves: 'These paintings have a spiritual value that no insurance in the world could reimburse.' AFP
