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.Martin O'Neill has admitted he has not been able to implement the changes he wanted with Sunderland's season starting at Arsenal today, but he has urged fans to trust him.
Sunderland have still to reach agreement with Wolves over the transfer of Steven Fletcher, with the Championship club holding firm on their £15m valuation. O'Neill has so far only signed Louis Saha, and he said: "We need to be competitive and our squad is definitely not strong enough.
"We're exploring everything and anything you're thinking, trust me we're trying it as well. We'll get the players in. It's going to be a tough old season, but that's my job."
