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.ALAN SUGAR, the Spurs chairman, denied yesterday that his legal wrangle with Terry Venables was the main reason for the England coach's resignation. "There's a little bit more in it than meets the eye, no doubt," Sugar said.
"I've seen interviews in which Terry was said to be disappointed with the lack of support from certain sections of the FA and I think that had a lot to do with the decision that he made.
"But the fact that there is litigation going on between me, Terry and various other parties is no different than when he took the job two years ago, so I can't suddenly see why anyone within the FA should take a stance.
"My gut feeling is that he will continue as England manager. I think too many people have reacted too quickly. I know Terry has said that he is not going to do it, but in a couple of months things may be different."
