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.England winger Theo Walcott lifted some of the gloom hanging over Arsenal when the club announced the 20-year-old had signed a new long-term contract today.
"We are absolutely delighted that Theo has committed his long term future to Arsenal," manager Arsene Wenger, who signed Walcott from Southampton as a 16-year-old, told the Premier League club's website.
"Theo is an intelligent player with amazing ability and speed, and has developed extremely well this season. Theo has huge potential for the forthcoming years and we are all looking forward to see him grow even more in an Arsenal shirt."
Arsenal were knocked out of the Champions League semi-final by Manchester United on Tuesday, ending their hopes of silverware for the fourth consecutive season.
