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.

GIJSBERT BOS: The 25-year-old, 6ft 4in Dutch striker was originally bought in 1995 by Lincoln from Dutch side Ijsselmeervogels. He found his true level when loaned to non-League Gateshead, scoring eight times in 10 games, but went back to Sincil Bank. After six goals in 36 games - including the winner in a Coca-Cola Cup tie at Manchester City, easily his career highlight - he joined Rotherham for pounds 20,000 last season, not an altogether smooth move. Following a substitution, he threw his shirt at his manager, Ronnie Moore, who banished him to the dressing-room and later to Walsall on loan. Only injury prevented his downward career spiral to the non-League. Still transfer-listed. Played once this season. He failed to score.
