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 West Indian striker Rodney Jack last night took Torquay United to their third Wembley appearance in 10 years as the Devon side thrashed Scarborough 7-2 on aggregate in the semi-finals of the Third Division promotion play-offs.
Jack's pace brought him goals in the fifth and sixth minutes. Scarborough pulled one back through Jason Rockett but second-half strikes from Steve McCall and Paul Gibbs gave Torquay a 4-1 win on the night. The visitors finished with nine men after red cards for Gareth Williams and Liam Robinson.
Torquay will meet Colchester in the final on Friday 22 May. The Essex side saw off Barnet, who had Lee Howarth sent off, with an extra-time winner from David Gregory.
