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.

The Guardian carries Sir Keir’s promise to “fight every day until you believe again”.

Sir Keir also promised to “rebuild Britain”, according to the iweekend.

The Daily Mail says “Starmer has to deliver”, while the Daily Express urges Conservatives to “be gracious in defeat”.

And The Daily Telegraph leads with new Health Secretary Wes Streeting declaring the NHS “broken”.
