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.

A pair of explosions outside a government compound in Iraq's western Anbar province has killed 17 people, Iraqi police and hospital officials said.

The officials said at least 23 people have also been wounded in today's blasts near the provincial council building in Ramadi, Anbar's capital 70 miles west of Baghdad.

The officials spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorised to brief the media.
