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 Football Association has confirmed it is investigating the incident which saw Brighton striker Ashley Barnes appear to trip referee Nigel Miller.
The 23-year-old was sent off by Miller towards the end of Saturday's 1-0 defeat at Bolton.
The reason for the red card was initially unclear but video footage filmed from the stands has since emerged which seems to show Barnes sticking out his leg as the official ran past.
Barnes has already been hit with an automatic four-match suspension, which includes an additional match for his second red card of the season, but he could be facing an even longer ban.
The FA also confirmed it is considering taking action against Crystal Palace winger Wilfried Zaha after he was photographed appearing to make an offensive gesture towards Leeds fans during Saturday's 2-2 draw at Selhurst Park.
The 20-year-old, who in January agreed a move to Leeds' traditional rivals Manchester United, later apologised for his actions on Twitter.
He wrote: "I...wanted to apologise for the gesture I did towards the Leeds fans in yesterday's game. Very unprofessional from me."
