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.

In that streak, the team has 33 goals and has not conceded a goal in the last six games — a first under Guardiola.
Wolverhampton Wanderers avoided becoming the latest Premier League casualty only by scoring in the third minute of injury time to salvage a 2-2 draw at third-tier Shrewsbury.
Wolves, who knocked out Liverpool in the third round, rested key players for the game despite not being in genuine danger of relegation in its first season back in the Premier League.
In an all-Premier League matchup, Watford won 2-0 at Newcastle, which hasn't progressed beyond the fourth round since 2006. Brighton was taken to a replay by second-tier West Bromwich Albion after a 0-0 draw.
And after Everton were stunned by Millwall, West Ham were knocked out by AFC Wimbledon. Re-live the action:

So, just three goals in eight FA Cup 3pm fixtures so far this afternoon.
Two of them have come at the Liberty Stadium and more specifically from Scot Oli McBurnie, whose header and then 20-yard strike have put Swansea into a comfortable lead against Gillingham.
Gabriel Jesus has scored the only goal at the Etihad, partly thanks to some poor goalkeeping from Nick Pope, and City could have added more.
The other all-Premier League affair between Newcastle and Watford has seen little action, while Wolves have had chances at Shrewsbury and Brighton have gone close at home to West Brom.
We need some divine intervention at the other grounds if we're honest.....
