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.

An artist has engraved a miniature of the 70m (230ft) Bayeux Tapestry on to a shallow crystal bowl.

It took Frank Grenier, of Somerset, six months to engrave the 58 panels of the tapestry, which shows events leading up to the Norman conquest of England and culminates in the Battle of Hastings in 1066. The dish will be displayed at Glastonbury Abbey from Friday. Getty images
