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.
Your support makes all the difference.Sixteen years after his unbeaten part in sending Tiger Woods to Walker Cup defeat, England's Mark Foster is hoping to seal a return to team golf in real style this weekend.
The 36-year-old took the early lead in the fog-delayed Johnnie Walker Championship at Gleneagles with a six-under-par 66 yesterday and hopes to earn a place in Britain and Ireland's Seve Trophy side for the first time.
Not even a problem with wasps and bees could prevent Foster from making a flying start. While Ross Fisher crashed to five over as he was affected by them – he then hit back to finish with a 71 – his fellow Englishman carried on regardless. "I made a birdie putt with a wasp on the ball," he said.
