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 FIA has told BMW Sauber AG their application for an entry in next year's FIA Formula One World Championship has succeeded.

They will be awarded the 13th entry in the championship, taking the place of Toyota, who recently announced their intention to quit. The decision comes after Peter Sauber struck a deal with BMW to take over the team.

After the German manufacturer announced their withdrawal from Formula One, they initially signed a contract with Qadbak Investments Ltd.
