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.Newcastle United have completed the signing of Jonjo Shelvey from Swansea City on an undisclosed fee.
The England midfielder, 23, has signed a five-and-a-half-year deal to move to St James' Park - the deal will cost the North East club £12million.
"I'm very excited to be here. I'm so glad that it's finally done," Shelvey told the Newcastle website.
"I drove up through the night to be here so it's been a manic 24 hours but it's all been worth it to come here and play for this great club."
Newcastle United head coach, Steve McClaren, added: "I'm delighted to welcome Jonjo to Newcastle United.
"He has great experience for a young English central midfielder and is a current England international, so I'm certain he will be a great addition to the squad.
"He is a player we have admired for some time and we're very pleased that we've now been able to bring him here."
