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.The American Lindsey Vonn thrashed her rivals again to secure a hat-trick of wins at the weekend in the Austrian resort of Haus Im Ennstal after taking victory in a World Cup Super-G yesterday.
Winner of both downhills held the two previous days, Vonn's feat matched that of Germany's Katja Seizinger in Lake Louise in 1997. "Another record. I'm pretty proud of it," Vonn said, "even if there was a hell of a pressure with everybody expecting me to do it. I'm incredibly proud."
Yesterday's race was all the more important as it was Vonn's first victory in a Super-G this season. Vonn last year took the discipline's world title away from Anja Paerson and the Swede was second in Haus, 0.53sec behind. The last place on the podium was shared by Italy's Nadia Fanchini and Martina Schild of Switzerland.
