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.Jason Brown helped Northamptonshire to extend their winning streak to five in the Second Division of the County Championship with a crushing two-day victory, by an innings and 61 runs, over Somerset at Wantage Road.
Brown snapped up 6 for 42 as the visitors, forced to follow on 229 adrift after being routed for 96, subsided to 168 all out.
The England and Wales Cricket Board pitch liaison officer, Peter Walker, decided not to take any action over the dry surface on which 18 wickets tumbled for 238 runs in five hours play. "It was a below average pitch, but you had one side on the top of their form and another at the bottom of theirs," he said.
