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.American telecommunications giant AT&T has ended its sponsorship deal with Tiger Woods.
The world No 1 announced earlier this month that he was taking an "indefinite" break from golf in order to save his marriage, having admitted being unfaithful to his wife, Elin.
An AT&T statement read: "We are ending our sponsorship agreement with Tiger Woods and wish him well in the future."
Fellow sponsor Accenture has already ended its association with Woods, while Swiss watchmaker TAG Heuer has announced it is to "downscale the use of his image" in its advertising.
