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 Florida man wanted for attempted murder thought he could evade police by jumping from a second storey balcony but instead leapt straight into the path of officers.

Rashad Walker was arrested in Pasco County, Florida after his bungling escape attempt on warrants from another county for second-degree attempted murder and aggravated battery with great bodily harm.
