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.

Keir Starmer is on the final leg of his campaign trail in Wales today (3 July), less than 24 hours before polling stations open to the public to vote for the next government.

The Labour leader is appearing in Carmarthen alongside candidates in the region, pleading with voters to get behind a new government.

Last night (2 July), Rishi Sunak was joined by Boris Johnson and Michael Gove for his own attempt at winning the public over.

Mr Starmer cited Tata Steel as an area where he's already been attempting to make a difference in Wales, jibing that the current prime minister was "too busy" to take calls regarding the issue.

"That is a difference that a Labour victory tomorrow will make", he said.

"We've now had 14 years of chaos, division, and failure, and the choice tomorrow is to bring that to an end."
