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 Aston Villa stiker Stan Collymore has been charged with assault. Collymore, 26, was arrested at an address in Cannock, Stafforshire on Christmas Eve, and has been bailed to appear before magistrates in the town.
Collymore, an England international, joined Villa from Liverpool in the summer for pounds 7m. He joined Liverpool from Nottingham Forest in 1995 for what was then a British record fee of pounds 8.5m.
Despite being a regular with Villa this season, his performances have been widely criticised. Collymore was due to play for Villa against Spurs today.
