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 suspension is now over, and the countdown to Luis Suarez's Barcelona debut against Real Madrid in tomorrow evening's El Clasico at the Bernabeu is in full swing.
The Barcelona strike pair Neymar and Lionel Messi both spoke of their delight that they will be able to finally link up with the controversial Uruguayan, whose four-month ban for biting Italy's Giorgio Chiellini during the World Cup has ended
"We are all really looking forward to the arrival of Luis," the mercurial Messi said. "He will bring a lot of strength to the team. He is a forward who scores a lot of goals. I am happy as he has spent a lot of time without getting onto the pitch."
Neymar, meanwhile, the Brazilian striker, added last week: "Messi is the best in the world and Luis Suarez is a top player. "I think we're going to do great things together for this club."
The match kicks off in the Spanish capital on Saturday at 5pm.
