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.

Mark Blundell is close to signing for the French Ligier Formula One team next season. The 26-year-old Royston-based driver said: 'The deal is 99 per cent sorted out. There are just a couple of things that cannot be tied up because of other obligations for 1992, notably my testing contract with McLaren.' Blundell already has experience of the Renault engine and semi-automatic gearbox to be used by Ligier next season, having been Williams's test driver in 1990.
