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.

Queen leads

silent tribute

The Queen yesterday led the nation in a two-minute silence in remembrance of the war dead.

All the senior members of the Royal Family except the Queen Mother were at the Cenotaph in Whitehall for the Remembrance Sunday service, observing the 11am silence between the sound of Big Ben and the firing of a field gun. More than 10,000 war veterans took part, a record, according to the Royal British Legion. Political leaders and representatives of Commonwealth governments joined the Queen in laying wreath
