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.

Mafia on the move

Palermo - The reputed Mafia "boss of bosses" and 14 other alleged mob leaders have been transferred from a Sicilian prison after the killing of a jail official. The 15 suspects, including the alleged Mafia kingpin Salvatore "Toto" Riina, were moved to maximum-security cells in northern Italy. Police believe the order to kill prison agent Giuseppe Montalto may have come from inside the Ucciardone prison in Palermo, where Riina and the others were held. AP
