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.

France will be looking to make it two from two when they take on USA at the Rugby World cup this morning.

The French came through an epic thriller against Argentina in their opening match, with Les Bleus now favourite to join England in qualifying for the quarter-finals.

But first they must overcome the challenge posed by Gary Gold’s USA side as they go head to head at the Fukuoka Hakatanomori Stadium.

The Americans were thumped 45-7 in their opener against England.

With qualification unlikely at best, they’ll have their sights set on finishing above Tonga and avoiding the wooden spoon.
