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.

Arsenal’s healthy bank balance can expect another boost in two years with the club closing in on a new kit deal with Adidas worth as much as £25m a season.

The current deal with Nike – worth £13m a year – ends after next season. Arsenal’s shirts have been made by Nike since the mid-90s and more than 800,000 replica shirts are sold each year.

At an occasionally fractious AGM on Thursday supporters expressed disquiet at manager Arsène Wenger for putting finances above trophies but this deal would boost Arsenal’s revenue to £300m by 2014-15, putting the club among the world’s top-five earners.
