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.

Round-up

Wolves survived a 2-1 home defeat by Queen's Park Rangers last night to edge into the second round of the Coca-Cola Cup with a 3-2 aggregate victory.

Wolves held a 2-0 lead from the first leg a fortnight ago but had to work hard to prevent the tie going into extra time, even though they dominated early on.

QPR went ahead when Gavin Peacock headed home a Trevor Sinclair corner, but Wolves recovered their composure after the interval and equalised in the 62nd minute after Steve Bull went for a cross by Steve Froggatt and was bundled over by Danny Maddix. Darren Ferguson scored the penalty, but four minutes later Paul Murray scored QPR's winner on the night.

Third Division Cambridge United forced extra time at The Hawthorns before losing to West Bromwich Albion, who are unbeaten in the First Division this season. Richard Sneekes put Albion through with a 103rd-minute penalty.
