"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."
"Labour's flagship workers' rights reforms are set to become law after peers called a halt to their extended stand-off over the controversial plans. It means that Labour's election pledge to restore trade union rights to pursue industrial action as well as giving employees day 1 sick leave and maternity rights will become law. The victory for Keir Starmer's government though is overshadowed by warnings from businesses that it will lead to a further decrease in employment and prevent growth."
