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.Kent will be without their two leading fast bowlers going into the final round of the County Championship today against Surrey at Canterbury. Dean Headley and Martin McCague are both out with back problems.
However, Kent, who trail the Championship leaders Glamorgan by a point in second place, have been encouraged in their chase for the title by Surrey's list of injured bowlers.
Chris Lewis, who has made progress after a hip injury, faces a fitness test but, if he fails, Ben Hollioake and Joey Benjamin will share the new ball.
By contrast to Surrey and Kent, Glamorgan are at full strength against Somerset at Taunton and relishing the opportunity of winning their first title since 1969.
"It's a help psychologically to know it is in our hands. I would prefer to be in this position than to have to try and catch up," Matthew Maynard, the Glamorgan captain, said.
