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.

MIDDLETOWN, Connecticut - A student newspaper that has picked the winner in every presidential election since 1956 weighed in yesterday with good news for President Bush, running well behind Bill Clinton in the presidential race, AP reports.

President Bush was the choice of 55 per cent of the more than 600,000 students surveyed in the Weekly Reader, drawing especially heavy support among those from kindergarten to fourth grade.
