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.BURNLEY WENT clear at the top of the Second Division last night after a hard-fought 2-1 victory over Bournemouth at Turf Moor. Goals from Graham Branch and Steve Davis either side of Mark Stein's reply gave the Clarets a two-point advantage over their Lancashire rivals Wigan.
Branch opened the scoring with a powerful header on 38 minutes, but Stein responded within half a minute. However, Davis was the match-winner when he headed home a Paul Cook free-kick on 62 minutes.
Wrexham could not recover from a disastrous first half against Notts County at the Racecourse Ground on the night they opened a new pounds 3m stand. Duane Darby scored twice and Mark Stallard added a third as County went in 3-0 ahead at the interval. A courageous fightback from the Welshmen, with Craig Faulconbridge scoring twice, could not quite salvage a point.
In the Third Division, Shrewsbury scored twice in the last seven minutes at Leyton Orient to earn their first victory of the season, 2-1.
