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.TONYA HARDING and Nancy Kerrigan join in competition today for the first time since the hammer attack on Kerrigan as they take part in the technical programme of the women's event, writes Mike Rowbottom.
The Americans had differing experiences in their practice session at the Hamar Amphitheatre yesterday. Harding, who faces charges of involvement with last month's assault on Kerrigan, fell heavily during practice as she attempted a triple flip, and slid into the barrier before cutting short her routine and walking back, pale and upset, to her coach, Diane Rawlinson.
Kerrigan, who studiously ignored Harding's activities, was troubled only by a trailing lace on her right boot.
