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.

Defending champion Adrian Lewis was the first man to book a quarter-final spot at the PDC World Championship at Alexandra Palace in London as he saw off Wayne Jones 4-0 last night.

Lewis was in dominant form, claiming the first set 3-0 and dropping only four legs in total. "It's a great feeling to be through to the quarter-finals, and I'm on course to retain my title," he said.

Lewis will next face Terry Jenkins, who beat Justin Pipe 4-1 last night, delighting the crowd with a double-double finish. In the first game of the evening session an erratic Gary Anderson held off a stiff challenge from South African Devon Petersen to claim the final spot in the last 16.
