Your support helps us to tell the story

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.

Gyula Horn, leader of the Hungarian Socialist Party, suffered severe injuries in a car crash three days before the first round of general elections his party appears set to win, AFP reports from Budapest.

Mr Horn, 62, suffered head and neck injuries and a broken wrist in the crash on his way back to Budapest from an electoral meeting at Miskolc, 120 miles north-east of the capital. According to opinion polls, the Socialist Party, formerly the ruling communist party, could retake power after Hungary's upcoming elections.
