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.Chris Coleman, the Fulham manager, spent a second night in hospital last night and is unlikely to take charge of tomorrow's Premiership match against Manchester United.
The source of the virus, which has laid the 33-year-old low for the past three days, has been identified, although not made public, and he is likely to receive antibiotics via an intravenous drip for the next 24 hours to clear it up.
Coleman's condition has "substantially improved" but a Fulham spokesman added: "Rest is prescribed. It does not seem like something that you recover from within 24 hours, although physically he is feeling much better."
The infection forced Coleman to miss Tuesday's FA Cup win against West Ham United. He was taken to hospital on Wednesday morning, when he was described as "very ill". The assistant manager, Steve Kean, will remain in charge in Coleman's absence.
