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.England fly-half Owen Farrell has been ruled out of Saturday's third rugby test against New Zealand with a knee injury.
Farrell played in the No 10 jersey in last weekend's second test which was won 28-27 by New Zealand, which leads the three-match series 2-0.
Freddie Burns played in England's 20-15 first test defeat while Farrell, among several frontline players, was unavailable after taking part in the English Premiership final.
England coach Stuart Lancaster said: "The knee has been scanned and there is a strain there.
"It's disappointing for Owen as he was desperate to play in the final test but such is his character that he is already working on his rehab and still contributing to the tour."
This week, New Zealand center Conrad Smith was ruled out of the match with a broken thumb.
