JUDGEMENTS; Winners and losers of the last seven days
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.

Whose ability to get himself out in silly ways plumbed new depths yesterday when he was run out without even running his bat in.
Watford fans
Who are being asked to believe that a management pairing of Graham Taylor and Luther Blissett is a "dream team".

Andre Agassi
Who failed to regain the world No 1 spot when he lost to Pete Sampras in the final of a tournament at the end of last week, and then promptly lost in straight sets to Luke Jensen, the world No 462, a couple of days later.
