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.Lord Triesman, former chairman of the Football Association, will give evidence to the Parliamentary culture, media and sport select committee inquiry into football governance next week.
Triesman has yet to speak publicly about his time at the FA since resigning last year.
But the Labour peer is believed to have been frustrated with the workings of the governing body, while he has also promised to discuss England's failed bid to host the 2018 World Cup finals. Sports minister Hugh Robertson recently called football "the worst governed sport in this country."
