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.Justin Rose begins a well-earned holiday today with one over-riding thought from his year's work. Nothing beats the feeling of winning. Earning over £1m and moving up from 162nd to 37th in the world are achievements to celebrate, but what Rose wants more than anything next season is to taste victory again.
"That elation is what you play for," the Hampshire youngster said. "It's easy to forget with all the money that's on offer, but when I won it opened my eyes to how good it felt."
Having missed his first 21 half-way cuts as a professional, Rose claimed his first victory in South Africa in January. He won there again in February, then in Japan and at the British Masters at Woburn. But another title eluded him on Sunday when he finished joint-third with Paul Casey on his World Cup debut in Mexico.
To return to winning ways, Rose will focus on a fitness programme devised by the athletics coach Frank Dick. "I'm as stiff as a board – that's not good for a 22-year-old," Rose said. "I definitely aim to be stronger."
