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.

HOUSE PRICES fell for the second month running during September according to Nationwide Building Society.

Nationwide's seasonally adjusted house price index showed that UK prices fell by 0.2 per cent in September compared to August, although prices are still 7.5 per cent higher than a year ago.

The deceleration in prices primarily reflects a slowing of prices in London and the south-east, Nationwide said. The building society expects housing market activity to remain "reasonably resilient" although "it will not be immune to the inevitable slowing of the wider economy already underway".
