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.THE National Lottery regulator, Oflot, is expected to make a swift decision on the future of GTech, shareholders in Camelot, after receiving a submission from the company yesterday about its business practices. GTech responded to a demand by John Stoker, Oflot's acting head, that it supply documents proving that it is "fit and proper" to be involved in running the lottery. A libel jury decided last month that Guy Snowden, the former head of United States-based GTech, had tried to bribe Richard Branson into withdrawing his bid to run the lottery. Mr Stoker said the company must dispel concern about its ethics and business practices.
Ten million pounds 1 scratchcards aimed at raising money for the Diana, Princess of Wales Memorial Fund went on sale yesterday, launched by the pools company Littlewoods.
