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.

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.Baroness Thatcher found herself embroiled in another controversy yesterday for flying to Chile in a Chilean air force plane, AFP reports from Santiago. Jorge Schaulsohn, speaker of the chamber of deputies and a member of the ruling coalition, demanded that the air force explain why it had put its aircraft at Lady Thatcher's disposal during a five-day visit that ended yesterday.
