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.

The Czech Republic might be invited this summer to join Nato, President Vaclav Havel said yesterday.

"Everything suggests that certain countries ... including the Czech Republic ... might be directly invited at the summer summit in Madrid, and the process of admitting new Nato members would thus be launched," he said during a radio broadcast. His remarks followed a meeting with the German Chancellor Helmut Kohl, who was in Prague to sign a declaration on Czech- German reconciliation last Tuesday. Reuters - Prague
