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.

Fourteen people died after a bus plunged off a bridge in northern Greece today.

The bus, believed to be carrying a total of 28 people, skidded from Greece's main north-south highway about 30 miles south-west of Thessaloniki from a span more than 30 feet over a river. The bus was on an overnight journey from Thessaloniki to Athens.

Greece has been gripped by an unusual cold spell for several weeks with snow in many areas and flooding that has damaged roadways.
