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.

David Miliband warned today that Labour risked three or four terms out of office if it picks the wrong leader to succeed Gordon Brown.

In an interview with the Daily Telegraph, the front-runner in the contest said he was "trying to persuade the Labour Party not to lose three or four elections before it bounces back".

The shadow foreign secretary described himself as "the unity candidate", with support from all sides of the party.

Speaking about his association with New Labour, Mr Miliband said: "I'm learning from the past but not living in it."

The new leader will be announced in Manchester on September 25 ahead of the party's annual conference.
