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.Phil Taylor secured a record sixth world title at Purfleet last night when the 37-year-old humbled Dennis Priestley 6-0 in the final of the World Championship, winning five of the sets by 3-0 margins.
Taylor has won this tournament four years in succession and also took the Embassy World Championship in both 1990 and 1992, for six titles in nine attempts. His victory over Priestley took him past the record of Eric Bristow, who won five Embassy titles between 1980 and 1986.
