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.

Casey Stoner held off the challenge of home favourite Jorge Lorenzo to win the Spanish MotoGP in Jerez yesterday.

The reigning champion made a great start from fifth on the grid to take the lead on lap two.

Stoner had to battle as Lorenzo closed in and both riders struggled with tyre wear. But Stoner fought to take his first win of the year, with Dani Pedrosa third and Britain's Cal Crutchlow fourth.
