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.

AUnited States envoy flew into Sarajevo yesterday to drive a stake through the heart of Bosnia's breakaway Croat mini-state, clearing the way for the Muslim-Croat federation, brokered by Washington in 1994.

The US Assistant Secretary of State, John Kornblum, returned to the Bosnian capital for talks with Muslim and Croat leaders to ensure an end to the breakaway Herceg Bosna before the month is out. "We expect Herceg Bosna to go up in a puff of smoke by midnight on Saturday at the latest," a US source said. Reuter - Sarajevo
