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.

A World Cup qualifier between Slovakia and the Czech Republic has been postponed because two Czech players are involved in the Uefa Cup final with the German club Schalke. The European group six World Cup qualifier and the second leg of the Uefa Cup final between Schalke and Internazionale are both scheduled for 21 May. A rearranged date has yet to be set.
Dave Savage, the Millwall midfielder, has been added to the Republic of Ireland squad for the group eight World Cup qualifying tie against Liechtenstein in Dublin on 21 May. The 23-year-old Savage won the last of his five caps in a 3-0 victory over Bolivia at the Giant Stadium, New Jersey two years ago. In preparation for the Lansdowne Road international, Mick McCarthy is likely to give Savage a run-out in the Pat Bonner testimonial between Ireland and Celtic on Sunday. Savage is a replacement for the Sunderland striker Niall Quinn who enters hospital this week for a scan on a knee injury.
