Your support helps us to tell the story
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.

Andre Ayew: The summer signing impressed on his debut, with his equalising goal in the first half a moment of real quality. Having seen his initial attempt blocked, the former Marseille forward showed great intelligence to drag the ball back before rifling home.
VIEW FROM THE BENCH
This was always going to be a difficult opener for Chelsea and so it proved. The hosts started well enough but were unable to cope with Swansea's increased intensity, leading to desperation on and off the pitch. Mourinho simply sat back and laughed as things went against his side.
MOAN OF THE MATCH
The constant haranguing of referee Michael Oliver and his assistants - there looked very few decisions he got wrong.
