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.

Fifa's reputation is at an "all-time low", said David Cameron yesterday as he described Sepp Blatter's re-election as president of the world governing body as a "farce".

The Prime Minister told MPs the Football Association should "play a very major role" in helping reform it.

During Prime Minister's Questions, Mr Cameron told the Commons: "Fifa's reputation is now at an all-time low and obviously the election with just one candidate was something of a farce, but it has to become more transparent and more accountable."
