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.

The devil - in the shape of Didi Sneft - makes an appearance at the 10th stage of the Tour of Spain outside Zaragoza yesterday. The German, known as `El Diablo' for the rather obvious reason, is a regular follower of the Tour de France, the Giro and the Tour of Spain. The stage was won by the Ukrainian Sergei Outschakov, six years after his last victory in the event. Outschakov and Italy's Fabio Rosciolli broke clear from a group of five riders nine kilometres from the finish. After working together to ensure they would be first and second across the line, the pair battled for the stage honours in the final 200 metres which the TVM rider won. Spain's Abraham Olana, of the ONCE team, retained the race leader's golden jersey for the sixth successive day.
