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.Manchester City defender Matija Nastasic could miss the first month of the Barclays Premier League season, the club have announced.
The Serbia centre-half was carried off on a stretcher after suffering an ankle injury in last month's Barclays Asia Trophy final against Sunderland in Hong Kong.
An article on the club's website, http://www.mcfc.co.uk, has now revealed the 20-year-old could be sidelined for four to six weeks.
Nastasic made a big impression at the Etihad Stadium following his move from Fiorentina last summer but his absence could allow Joleon Lescott the chance to revive his title-winning central defensive partnership with Vincent Kompany.
Meanwhile, striker Sergio Aguero is poised to return to full training before the end of the week.
Aguero is yet to feature during City's pre-season programme because of a knee injury.
City face Arsenal in a friendly in Helsinki on Saturday before beginning their Premier League campaign against Newcastle on August 19.
