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.Real Madrid defender Sergio Ramos has apologised for leaving before the end of the champions' Primera Liga match at home to Real Valladolid to go and watch a friend compete in a bullfight nearby.
The Spain international, who was suspended for Sunday's game, left the Bernabeu before the end of his side's 2-0 victory and photographs of him in Madrid's Las Ventas bullring were carried in the media on Monday.
"I apologise to anyone who may have been offended. It wasn't right and if the club decide to punish me, I will accept it," he told a news conference on Tuesday. "All this has annoyed me. No one can doubt my commitment to this club."
