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.Celtic have turned down an approach from Wigan for striker Scott McDonald.
Wigan manager Roberto Martinez revealed he wanted the Australian on loan until the end of the season with a view to a permanent deal.
But he did not have the funds to complete an instant deal in January for McDonald, who has netted 64 goals in 128 games since signing from Motherwell.
"We did make an approach to Celtic to sign Scott McDonald but it was turned down," Martinez told the Scottish Daily Express.
"We had wanted Scott on loan with a view to paying the full transfer in the summer.
"I think if they are to sell Scott McDonald then they will want any transfer fee up front but we are simply not in a position to do that.
"I tried to get him in the last window but that was also turned down."
