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 West Indies board has called for an investigation into Saturday's one-day international against Pakistan in Guyana which was declared a tie. Technically, West Indies were the winners because they lost one fewer wicket. The West Indies board was also concerned about overcrowding after spectators lined the boundary and impeded the fielders. The Guyanese board denied that more than 17,000 tickets, the ground's capacity, were sold.
ROLAND HOLDER was unbeaten with 140 out of the West Indies Board President's XI total of 276 for 4 when rain ended the second day's play in their match against Pakistan in Georgetown, Guyana. Holder shared a third- wicket partnership of 163 with his captain, Keith Arthurton, who made 74.
