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.Linford Christie's season got off to a successful start in Adelaide yesterday, writes Mike Rowbottom. Britain's world and Olympic 100 metres champion, who has been training in Australia for the last three months, won at the Optus Grand Prix in a time of 10.48sec, running into a headwind of two metres per second.
Christie races again in Perth tomorrow before travelling to Tokyo for his first indoor meeting on 5 February. "Every year I like to think I train a little harder," he said. "My priority this year is to retain my world title. Everything else takes second place."
