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.

Opel executives resign

The honorary president and two senior managers of Opel, the scandal-hit German subsidiary of General Motors, resigned yesterday to spare the company harm, the company announced. The three are director of production Peter Enderle; Friedrich Lohr, a member of the supervisory council, and honorary president Ferdinand Beickler. Opel said that according to information from the state prosecutors, they are investigating 64 Opel employees, against 19 of which there is "concrete suspicion", but it had no evidence of culpability against the three who had resigned.
