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.

Stoke striker Ricardo Fuller will escape further punishment from the Football Association after his clash with his captain Andy Griffin yesterday.

Fuller was sent off for fighting with Griffin during the 2-1 defeat at West Ham yesterday.

The striker is likely to be fined the maximum two weeks' wages by manager Tony Pulis, who is due to meet the player today to discuss the incident.

However, Fuller will just serve a statutory three-match ban for a red card issued for violent conduct as the FA do not plan to take further action.
