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.

The good news for Cambridge is that their captain, Ruth Gilpin, is back after a two months long ankle injury. However, their first choice goalkeeper, Katy Roberts, is training with England Under-21, so Caroline Wright takes over in goal.
Oxford's president, Josie Saunders, also back after a broken ankle, is in the Dark Blues squad announced yesterday.
At Milton Keynes, Bromsgrove School won the British Aerospace National Schools Under-18 title, winning their last game 6-0 against Tadcaster Grammar School with Fiona Gibson scoring three times. The title was effectively decided earlier when Bromsgrove beat runners-up Cheltenham 3-0.
