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.Gillingham have sacked manager Peter Taylor after 14 months in charge.
The former Leicester boss had been in charge of the Gills since October 2013 but back-to-back home defeats against Chesterfield and Bristol City on Sunday have led to the 61-year-old's departure.
Taylor, who also took charge of Gillingham between 1999 and 2000, departs having lost just two of his last nine matches in all competitions but with the club in 20th place in League One.
Andy Hessenthaler, who returned to the club in May as Taylor's assistant, will take charge of their clash with Port Vale on Saturday and could still be in charge for their Johnstone's Paint Trophy area final first leg against Bristol City on Tuesday.
"Peter Taylor has been relieved of his duties with immediate effect," a brief statement on the club's website read.
"The chairman has asked the coaching staff to assist Andy Hessenthaler with this weekend's game against Port Vale."
