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.

New Zealand started their second innings needing 373 to make Pakistan bat again, reaching 189 for 4 by the close. Resuming with their stand worth 108, Salim Malik and Inzamam-ul-Haq scored at a run a minute in the morning to take their fifth-wicket stand to 258 before Salim was caught and bowled by the left-arm spinner Matthew Hart for 140. Inzamam was left on 135. In Johannesburg, Hansie Cronje hit a career-best 112 to lead South Africa to a five-run victory over Australia in their first one- day international.
