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.

Suspected gunman James Holmes may have phoned his former university just nine minutes before the shooting at a midnight screening of The Dark Knight Rises that killed 12 people, his lawyer said.

In a pre-trial hearing, Tamara Brady raised the possibility of the call while questioning Dr Lynne Fenton, a University of Colorado psychiatrist who treated Holmes in the month before the 20 July shooting in Aurora.
