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.

Dame Diana Rigg is to star alongside her actress daughter Rachael Stirling for the first time, in an episode of "Doctor Who" specially written for them.

Stirling said the pair had not appeared together before because the offers "have not been tempting," adding: "Mark Gatiss has written a gift of a script and an on-screen relationship between ma and I that is truly delicious."
