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.

CCTV footage has been released of man disarming an attacker who was threatening him with a shotgun.

The film released by New Orleans police shows the man walking down a road before he is approached by his assailant, who shoves the barrel of a shotgun in his face demanding money.

Luckily, the quick-thinking victim turns the tables by grabbing the gun out of his attacker's hands and chasing him down the road with it.
