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.British lottery history could be made today if a single UK ticket holder scoops the estimated £85 million EuroMillions jackpot.
But the odds are against us; people from nine countries - the UK, France, Spain, Austria, Belgium, Luxembourg, Ireland, Portugal and Switzerland - are playing the game.
The prize would be the biggest yet paid out to a UK winner, eclipsing the £35.4 million netted by Glasgow postal administrator Angela Kelly in August 2006.
If no one matches all five main numbers and two Lucky Star numbers, the jackpot will roll on to the following week.
A National Lottery spokesman said: "This fantastic EuroMillions mega jackpot could break all National Lottery records and we're keeping our fingers crossed for a big UK winner.
"With £85 million to play with, you could share your wealth around all your friends and family, and still have plenty left to change your life beyond your wildest dreams."
An Italian scooped Europe's biggest lottery jackpot, winning £128 million on Italy's SuperEnalotto draw last month.
