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.

John Higgins admits he lost the hunger for snooker this year, but believes it has returned just in time for him to defend his world title at the Crucible next weekend.

"I could say earlier on in the season it wasn't there. But in the last week to 10 days, I'm getting the hunger back and I'm getting the butterflies and will get myself ready to do myself justice," he said.

Veteran Steve Davis failed to qualify for the tournament, losing 10-7 to world no 48 Ben Woollaston in qualifying last night.
