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.

We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Discord has stopped working.
The company has suffered multiple outages, leaving people unable to message or use its voice tools as usual.
Instead, the company joked on Twitter that it was “time to go outside everyone”.
Discord had initially announced that it was seeing API errors and problems with sending push notifications. It fixed those issues shortly after, it said.
As it was doing those “remediations”, it found the problem and restarted its services, it said.
But that restart led it to discover yet another new problem – which took the Discord service down again.
The outage happened at the same time as problems at Spotify, but did not seem to be related.
