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.

Steve McClaren has confirmed he will be staying in his role as Nottingham Forest manager. Reports emerged yesterday that McClaren, who was appointed at the City Ground just 11 weeks ago, had retreated to his north-east family home to think about his position after becoming frustrated at a lack of investment in his team.

But the former England manager has put those rumours to bed and insisted he is committed to guiding Forest back to the Premier League. "I would like to emphasise that my only concern is getting on with the job at Forest of achieving the goal of getting the club back to the Premier League," he said in a statement on Forest's official website. "Contrary to reports, it has never been my intention to consider leaving. I am no quitter and I am as enthusiastic about the task as I was when I arrived in June."
