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.

Three million iPads have been sold in the 80 days since the touchscreen tablet computer hit stores in the United States, Apple said Tuesday.

"People are loving iPad as it becomes a part of their daily lives," Apple chief executive Steve Jobs said in a statement.

The iPad went on sale in the United States on April 3 and in Australia, Britain, Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, Spain and Switzerland at the end of May.

"We're working hard to get this magical product into the hands of even more people around the world, including those in nine more countries next month," Jobs said.

Apple said it sold its three millionth iPad on Monday.
