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.

The full trailer for Ridley Scott’s thriller The Counselor was released today, showing a glimpse of what to expect from the screenplay written by Cormac McCarthy.

Its star cast, which includes Brad Pitt, Michael Fassbender, Javier Bardem, Penelope Cruz and Cameron Diaz, follows the plot of a lawyer (Fassbender) who enters the world of drug trafficking.

Fassbender's character, who lives an unwinding glamorous lifestyle, finds himself in over his head with trouble.

Cruz’s line at the end of the trailer “Have you been bad?” is already trending on Twitter.

The Counselor is released on 25 October
