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 1994 Formula One season may not start on the streets of Buenos Aires as scheduled, but on a racing circuit outside the Argentinian capital.
The probable switch follows the election of a powerful banker, Marcos Gastaldi, as president of D'port Motor Tercer Milenio, the company which owns the racetrack. Gastaldi is keen on a switch, although the circuit needs considerable upgrading to grand prix standard.
Last month's announcement of a street race on 20 March - bringing Formula One back to Argentina after a 13-year absence - brought protests from local residents, politicians and environmentalists.
