The Week in Review
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 final round of 73 just pipped the American John Cook, who will forever be haunted by the three putts he took on the 17th and the wayward approach at the 18th that handed the solid Briton his fifth triumph in a major.
Graham Gooch may be getting on a bit and his hands no longer so sure at first slip but there is no doubting the England captain can still bat a bit. A century in each innings for Essex against Sussex enables the champions to open a 51-point lead at the top of the County Championship.
Up the motorway at Headingley, Gooch's England make a bright start against Pakistan in the fourth Test, Neil Mallender, of Somerset, taking three wickets on the opening day of his debut. Gooch continued his run of good form as England headed towards a first-innings lead.
It might be summer, it might finally be action stations at the Olympic Games but football continues to force its way into the spotlight. With big-money rumours following big-time players all over Europe, Leeds United divest one of their premier Premier League rivals, Arsenal, of their England international midfielder David Rocastle - pounds 2 million finding its way into the Highbury coffers as a result.
