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.Iga Swiatek, Carlos Alcaraz and Jannik Sinner headline the second day of action at the US Open as the first round continues.
Swiatek and Alcaraz were US Open champions in 2022 and return to New York among the favourites for the final grand slam of the year.
Alcaraz won the titles at Roland Garros and Wimbledon and the Spaniard insists he is ready to go despite a worrying ankle twist in training.
Meanwhile, his young rival Sinner arrives at Flushing Meadows under the cloud of two failed anti-doping tests, for which he was cleared of fault.
