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.

ANDREW MILLAR, the whistleblower sacked by British Biotech, is claiming around pounds 90,000 for his wrongful dismissal plus undisclosed damages for libel from the drug development company, it emerged yesterday.

Mr Millar, the former head of clinical research, is being sued for breach of contract by British Biotech and yesterday submitted his defence in the High Court case. He was ousted in April after airing his concerns over two of the company's drugs to shareholders.
