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 official victory parade for Scotland's Olympians will be held in Glasgow on Friday 14 September, though Edinburgh's Lord Provost, Donald Wilson, said he was "disappointed" it would not be held in the Scottish capital.
SportScotland said the event would be a "fitting and appropriate celebration" for all Scottish Olympians and Paralympians. Scottish athletes won a record 13 Olympic medals at the Games, including the two golds for Sir Chris Hoy which made him Britain's most successful Olympian.
