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.Ahead of the starts of this year's Ashes - the 69th such occasion in 133 years - both captains from England and Australia said that their teams will not cross the line and that the game will be tough but fair.
The last series, that took place down under, saw a lot of sledging between the sides with insults and intimidation becoming as much of a norm in recent years as lbws and rain delays.
Some have decried the unsporting nature of sledging while others see its a bit of fun and a way to ruffle the opponent's feathers. It depends on where you stand with regards to sledging being a harmless joke or something more sinister.
Take this exchange between Glenn McGrath and Michael Atherton: the Australian says to the English batsman, "Athers, it would help if you got rid of the s**t at the end of your bat."
Atherton the looked at the bottom of his bat before McGrath replied, "No, mate, at the other end."
For more such sledging, watch the video above.
