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.

NAQOURA, LEBANON - Arab guerillas riding jet skis yesterday tried to launch a daring attack against Israel, but were blasted out of the water by four Israeli gunboats off Lebanon's southern coast, UN officers said. The officers, who monitored the clash from an observation tower, said they saw the Israelis pulling the bodies of two guerillas and some debris out of the water. Automatic rifles, a pistol and hand grenades were strapped to the wreckage of the two jet skis, the UN said. Unconfirmed reports last night said three Israelis were shot dead by Palestinian gunmen at a tourist spot near Jericho in the occupied West Bank. AP
