Your support helps us to tell the story

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.

A father and son with links to the extreme right have been arrested in connection with a series of letter-bomb attacks in Austria, AFP reports from Vienna .

The two men were identified only as a 66-year-old former chemist, Franz R, and his 26-year-old son, who has the same name. The son served a jail sentence last year for trying to restore Nazi rule in Austria. The Interior Minister, Franz Loeschnak, said that the two men were extremists and had links with VAPO, an ultra-radical militant movement.
