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.

Phil Mickelson will make his return to competitive action at the WGC-Bridgestone Invitational in Akron, Ohio, next week.

The world No 2 has not played since tying for second place at the US Open at Bethpage last month.

During his time away from the game, his wife, Amy, and his mother, Mary, have both been treated for breast cancer. Amy underwent surgery in Houston on 1 July while Mickelson's mother was operated on 10 days later at the same hospital. Both are reported to have responded well to treatment.
