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.

Great Britain and Ireland's hopes of glory in the Eisenhower Trophy in Paris remained high yesterday as they finished the third round on 15 under par, one stroke behind the leaders, the United States. Things looked bleak for George MacGregor's side in the early stages as the Americans started well, but they fought back with great determination. Britain's best score of the day came from Ruislip's Warren Bennett, who shot a fine five-under-par 67. The American effort was led by 18-year-old Tiger Woods. After struggling for two rounds, Woods found his rhythm and form with a five- under-par 67. 'Today I played really well,' Woods said. 'I hit a lot of shots I needed to hit.' The Stanford University freshman amassed eight birdies and had three bogeys in his 67.
