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.

A 2011 clip of Michael Gove falling over has resurfaced this morning which - depending on your view of the Education Secretary - may or may not make a good accompaniment to browsing through coverage of his legacy in the Independent.

From today's paper, Steve Richards writes on Michael Gove's political journey - and the death of the Tory moderniser's dream.

An editorial from yesterday laments Mr Gove's zeal for free schools coming at the expense of sixth-form colleges.

Ian Birrell, writing in the i , feels the Education Secretary should have no shame in making political appointments.

And finally, here's him falling over.
