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.

Theresa May shared a fist bump with a member of the public in Salisbury as she visited the city for the first time since a former Russian spy was poisoned there with a highly toxic nerve agent.

The Prime Minister shook hands and shared selfies with residents in the market square of the cathedral city where she met traders, residents and emergency service personnel.

One woman proposed a fist bump, which Ms May reciprocated.

Former spy Sergei Skripal and his daughter remain in critical condition after the poisoning, which the Government has blamed on Russia.
