Your support helps us to tell the story

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.

Cycling

Toni Rominger is planning one more assault on his own one-hour track record after this year's World Championships.

"We're working on some projects for one more world record attempt," said the Swiss cyclist who set a mark of 53.832 kilometres in Bordeaux in October 1994 and then increased it to 55.291km two weeks later.

"If I prepare better now, if I train on a bigger track, we should be able to get further."
