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.CARL LEWIS is likely to run for the United States in the 4 x 100 metres relay at some point in the Games, the relay captain, Dennis Mitchell, said yesterday.
Lewis, who finished only sixth in the Olympic trials, trained with the squad yesterday and Mitchell said afterwards: 'We have been training with Carl and working out combinations with him and he is part of the relay set-up.'
There was good news for Britain's world champion 4 x 400m squad as the Americans' training session dissolved into an acrimonious shouting match between coaches and athletes demanding to know who was actually going to run. The answer, which may not be quite such good news for Akabusi and Co, is three 400m specialists, Quincy Watts, Danny Everett and Steve Lewis, and the world 200m champion, Michael Johnson.
