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.

Kim slams `traitors'

Seoul - North Korean leader Kim Jong Il delivered a blistering attack on economic reformists and ideological revisionists yesterday, calling them "traitors" who are jeopardising the country. It was not clear if the statement foreshadowed a policy shift or an impending purge of potential opponents in the communist state as it faces possible famine this winter. A US defence official said last week that thousands of people have been forced to attend mass executions in the North in an apparent effort to nip potential dissent in the bud. AP
