Your support helps us to tell the story
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.

Mark Hughes gets right up Sir Alex Ferguson's nose – it goes even redder than normal, so expect Fulham to give United a real game at the Cottage.

There have been so many pull-outs that Steve Ovett and Roger Bannister will be waiting by the phone at home.
Tuesday
Fifa's suits continue to look at England's potential 2018 World Cup venues. Can't think why they have given Milton Keynes and Plymouth the slip.
Wednesday
Tottenham attempt to put the Young Boys in their place. Perhaps there will be a spanking at White Hart Lane?
Thursday
Champions' League draw in Monaco. Elsewhere, Colin Montgomerie will be in a right mood (even for him) as his US-based stars refuse to play at Gleneagles, giving him a Ryder Cup headache under his lovely locks. At Lord's the final Test with Pakistan begins – just the seven one-dayers to come...
Friday
Groundhog day in Monaco, except it's the Europa League draw – i.e. a lot less interesting. Bet you didn't know the Super Cup was still going. Anyhow, Inter and Atletico Madrid play for a pointless bauble.
Saturday
Challenge Cup final, pole position at Spa and tasty Premier League clashes: it's Blackburn v Arsenal and Man United v West Ham.
