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.

Novak Djokovic brushed aside Jo-Wilfried Tsonga to set up a mouthwatering semi-final clash against home favourite Andy Murray.

Djokovic, who has never lost to Murray in a grand slam, looked to have the trickiest of the four quarter-finals at Wimbledon, but he made light work of Tsonga this afternoon, defeating the Frenchman 6-1 7-5 on Centre Court.

The world number two will meet Murray for the first time on grass tomorrow after the British number one hammered Spain's Nicolas Almagro 6-4 6-1.

Should Murray beat the Serb, he will be guaranteed his first Olympic medal.
