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.

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.

It also equalled Accrington's best performance in the Cup – they have reached the fourth round on three other occasions, the last in 1959 – and John Coleman's side will fancy upsetting their Premier League visitors at the Fraser Eagle Stadium.
Lee Hughes' 25-yard winner enabled Notts County to see off non-League Forest Green Rovers at Meadow Lane 2-1 and clinched Sven Goran Eriksson's club a home game against Premier League Wigan on Saturday.
Doncaster will play Derby in an all-Championship tie after Rovers won 1-0 at League One Brentford thanks to James O'Connor's header with three minutes to go.
