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.TURKEY is not yet a rowing power to cause Steve Redgrave too many sleepless nights. They have a solitary oarsman at Lake Banyoles, and Ali Riza Bilal's Olympic adventure came to an embarrassing - and early - end when he fell out of his boat midway through his sculls heat. A quick outing in the rescue launch returned him to dry land rather quicker than he might otherwise have made it. He was placed last when he went swimming.
