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.

HONG KONG - Divers searched for bodies yesterday after a transport plane skidded off the runway and crashed into the sea with 12 men on board. Two men were confirmed killed in the accident and authorities are still searching for four others. The plane was used earlier in the day to deport 33 Vietnamese boat people under a government repatriation programme and had returned to Hong Kong to drop off officials, government radio said. Reuter
