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 Fifa Ballon d'Or 23 man list for football's top individual prize was released today, and it is depressing viewing for Manchester United.
Louis van Gaal may have spent a phenomenal £120m the summer on players such as Memphis Depay, but the 'new Galacticos' find none of their current players on the list to be crowned the world's best player for the first time since 2010.
The list will be whittled down to three on 30 November, and the winner will be announced at a ceremony on 11 January.
MANCHESTER PLAYERS ON FIFA BALLON D'OR LIST SINCE 2010
2015 - None
2014 - Angel Di Maria
2013 - Robin van Persie
2012 - Robin van Persie/ Wayne Rooney
2011 - Nani/ Wayne Rooney
2010 - None
Cristiano Ronaldo, who won the award as a United player in 2008, is the current holder of the award, and is expected to challenge Barcelona pair Lionel Messia and Neymar for the prize.
Barcelona, who won La Liga, the Champions League and domestic cup last year, have the most players on the shortlist with Spanish midfielder Andres Iniesta, Argentine defender Javier Mascherano and Croatian Ivan Rakitic joining their front three of Messi, Neymar and Luis Suarez on the list.
Real have five with Colombian James Rodriguez and German World Cup-winner Toni Kroos also named.
German champions Bayern Munich also have five representatives with Robert Lewandowski, Thomas Mueller, Arjen Robben, Arturo Vidal and goalkeeper Manuel Neuer.
Vidal is joined by Chilean compatriot, Alexis Sanchez of Arsenal, after their Copa American success in July.
Manchester City midfielder Yaya Toure, winner of the last four African Player of the Year awards, is the only non European or South American to make the list.
