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.IPSWICH TOWN moved to the top of the First Division with a convincing win at sorry Swindon yesterday. George Burley's side came from a goal behind to earn a deserved victory which moves them above Stockport in the table on goal difference.
Swindon opened the scoring when Giuliano Grazioli's shot went in off the underside of the bar. Just before the break Ipswich equalised when David Johnson rounded Frank Talia before finding the net.
The Suffolk side took the lead soon after the interval when a cross from Jamie Clapham reached Richard Naylor, who turned and shot home.
Swindon presented Ipswich with a third goal when the defender James Williams lost possession on the edge of his area and Naylor gleefully rolled the ball past Talia and into the net. Johnson added the fourth when he shot into an empty net after Talia had saved a low drive from Fabian Wilnis.
Goals: Grazioli (15) 1-0; Johnson (44) 1-1; Naylor (55) 1-2; Naylor (68) 1-2, Johnson (74) 1-4.
