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.

FOUR teenagers have been detained in connection with an ammunition depot explosion in southern Russia, according to a news agency report. More than 1,500 125-millimetre tank shells blew up on Saturday night at an army ammunition depot on the outskirts of Volgograd, 550 miles south- east of Moscow. No one was injured. The boys, said they had been trying to steal powder charges to sell.
