Your support helps us to tell the story
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.

Security has been tightened after Bangladesh cricket team received two bomb threats. Police are very alert. Bangladesh will have strong support for their match against Scotland in Edinburgh . Plain-clothes police will be on duty to foil any move to break discipline.
About 1,500 fans and supporters of Bangladesh cricket team will go to Edinburgh to watch the match. Some Bangladeshi restaurants here will be closed to witness the match, but some restaurants have offered discount lunches to the customers, who will be watching the game on TV.
The supporters and fans have already been gathering in Edinburgh since last week. Almost all the hotels in Edinburgh are full.
Many cricket critics think that the time has come for Bangladesh to have full ICC membership - Test status. The Bangladeshi Under-19 team have already shown their potentiality (sic) during the World Youth Cricket Cup held in South Africa last year.
