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.The terrible weather that dogged the Open on Friday and Saturday has meant that the tournament will finish on a Monday for only the second time in history.
Good news for fans of rare sporting occurrences, bad news for golf fans now unable to watch the final round due to the minor inconvenience of having to go to work.
Fortunately for all those wanting to discover whether amateur Paul Dunne can pull off a shock win, or whether Jordan Spieth can write his way into the record books by becoming only the second man ever to win three consecutive majors, The Open organisers have provided them with a helpful sick note.
Tweeted from the tournaments official account yesterday, it remains to be seen how effective the note might be in trying to con the boss.
