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.A group of IT workers from Liverpool have won a £45.5 million share of the Euromillions jackpot, sources said today.
The syndicate of seven or eight staff were unaware they had won when they turned up for work at BT's Royal House centre in Wood Street this morning.
They held one of two tickets that scooped a share of Friday night's £91 million jackpot.
A company source said: "The lucky people do work in our Wood Street centre in Liverpool.
"They are employed by Hewlett Packard or by Manpower to do internal IT work, computer support.
"Some of them went to work this morning not actually knowing anything about it. Someone from Camelot turned up and whisked them away."
