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.Northamptonshire have sacked their director of cricket, Bob Carter, after a disappointing season. The 42-year-old presided over sixth and seventh-place finishes in the Second Divisions of the Norwich Union League and the County Championship respectively.

However, the committee feels that playing performances and results over the past couple of seasons haven't justified their support and the significant financial investment that has been made."
