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.

Jon Moulton, the veteran private equity investor, has had his bid for Clarity Commerce unanimously rejected by the company's board.

Clarity, which sells software to the retail and leisure industries, said yesterday Mr Moulton's £9.5m cash offer was "highly opportunistic" and undervalued the company.

Mr Moulton's Enigmatic Investments vehicle last week offered 23p a share for Clarity, a 51 per cent premium on the previous day's closing price.

Clarity said that after posting a loss in the year to 31 March it had offloaded non-core businesses and was cutting costs.
