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.

THE touring Australians expect strong opposition when they meet Munster at Musgrave Park, Cork this afternoon. Munster have an impressive record against tourists, including wins over Australia in 1967 and 1981, a draw with the 1973 All Blacks and victory over the otherwise unbeaten All Blacks of 1978.
David Campese, celebrating his 30th birthday, starts on the replacements' bench though there is little doubt he will see action.
MUNSTER: C Haly (Cork Constitution); R Wallace (Garryowen), P Danaher (Garryowen), B Walsh (Cork Constitution) J Clarke (Dolphin), D Larkin (Garryowen), D Tobin (Young Munster); P McCarthy (Cork Constitution), T Kingston (Dolphin, capt), P Clohessy (Young Munster), R Costello (Garryowen), G Clohessy (Young Munster), M Galwey (Shannon), G Eals (Young Munster), B Cronin (Garryowen).
