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 2019 Tour de France is upon us and Geraint Thomas will be bidding to defend his title after winning in style last year.
This time he won’t have Chris Froome by his side after the four-time champion crashed out of the race – and his season – at the Criterium du Dauphine.
However Thomas still faces stiff competition from the likes of Richie Porte, Adam Yates and Vincenzo Nibali, while even his own teammate Egan Bernal could go and win the race.
