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.

Tim Bresnan is trying his hardest to be fit in time for the Ashes, even if that means sleeping with his injured elbow jammed into a metal contraption.

The England fast bowler has missed the current tour of New Zealand and is racing to be back for the start of the county season with Yorkshire so that he can get in as much game time as possible before the Ashes start. He is sleeping with a continuous passive motion machine strapped to his right arm and posted the above picture on Twitter yesterday.

England Lions suffered a crushing 122-run defeat in their second unofficial one-day international against Australia A.
