"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."
"The White House pressed Navy officials to launch 2,000-pound live bombs instead of dummy explosives during its 250th anniversary celebration that President Donald Trump attended, according to a new report. One person familiar with the planning of the event told the Associated Press White House officials insisted to Navy planners that Trump needed to see explosions" instead of just a big splash during the October 5 demonstration."
"Original planning for what the Navy dubbed the Titans of the Sea Presidential Review called for military personnel to use dummies and not live bombs, another person familiar with the Navy's planning said. That person would not comment on why the Navy decided to switch to live bombs. The White House said no switch was made. Deputy Press Secretary Anna Kelly said in a statement, Organizers always planned to use live munitions, as is typical in training exercises."
The Independent covers topics including reproductive rights, climate change, and Big Tech while investigating financial ties like Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC and producing documentaries such as 'The A Word' that spotlight American women fighting for reproductive rights. The outlet forgoes paywalls and solicits donations from those who can afford it to fund reporters on the ground and to present both sides of stories. Sources say the White House pushed Navy planners to use 2,000-pound live bombs rather than dummies for the October 5 250th anniversary demonstration attended by President Trump, a switch the White House denies and says was always planned.
