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.

Ryan O'Neal and his son Redmond were arrested after police said they found drugs at the actor's Malibu home during a routine probation check.

Redmond O'Neal, 23, is serving three years of probation after pleading guilty in June to drug possession charges.

Police suspect both men had methamphetamine, but the substances still need to be tested. They were taken into custody, booked and then released on $10,000 (£5,500) bail each. Ryan O'Neal and his son could be charged with possession of narcotics. Redmond, 23, is his son from a relationship with actress Farrah Fawcett.
