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.Steve Walsh, the Leicester City captain, insisted yesterday that the incident which brings himself and Arsenal's Ian Wright before an FA disciplinary hearing today did not merit any punishment.

"I can't believe they'll do anything because what happened doesn't warrant it," Walsh said. "The only thing that worries me is that if they hammer him [Wright], they'll feel bound to penalise me too. Or if they go easy on him they may want me as a consolation prize.''
