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.

From the moment Daniele Dichio scored the opener in the 11th minute, Peter Reid's men were in total control. Sunderland's left-back, Michael Gray, increased the lead in the 27th minute with a powerful shot and in first-half injury time Niall Quinn headed in the third. The substitute Michael Bridges added the fourth with a low drive before Colin Little gained some consolation for Crewe. The edge was taken off the victory by injury to Gray and Dichio.
Also in the First Division, Watford managed a fourth home draw in a row, 1-1 against Norwich, despite missing six first-teamers. A Gifton Noel- Williams cross was deflected in by Matt Jackson, but Darren Eadie equalised by slipping the ball past Alec Chamberlain after a run from midfield.
