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.The world's fastest man Usain Bolt is a stringent Manchester United supporter.
But like many other fans of the Old Trafford club, he got a bit over-confident ahead of the Arsenal clash at the Emirates on Sunday.
Louis van Gaal's team, of course, conceded three goals in just 20 minutes in an awful display.
Bolt had made a bet with Mexican Arsenal-supporting TV presenter Patty Lopez de la Cerda that the loser would have to wear the shirt of the other.
The Jamaican sprinter, who has said that Rio 2016 will be his last Olympics, posted the results on Instagram. He said: "So I lost a bet with @pattylopezdelac that man untied [sic] would win but they didn't so I have to pay up on my bet so sorry guys. #nothappy #seriousface"

"I start training for the Olympics next Monday [October 12]. It will be my last Olympics," he said on the Ellen DeGeneres show.
"I should have one more World Championships but I'm not too sure what I want to do [after retiring]. Some people say I should try acting but I think I will stay in sport and figure out what I can do."
As some eagle-eyed people have noticed Bolt - who earns $10million in sponsorship from sportswear brand Puma - has never been pictured in a Manchester United shirt, as they have had huge deals with Nike and now adidas.
Arsenal have a £30m-a-year deal with Puma.
