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.

Everton have cancelled the sale of a special edition video - because Duncan Ferguson's face is on the front cover of the tape.

The embarrassed Goodison club have called off a launch of a celebration of derby victories over Liverpool, which features some of the clubs legends.

On the cover, Ferguson is seen saluting a goal but now he is being hurriedly removed from the central shot after his controversial pounds 8m sale to Newcastle United. A new edition is being put together in an attempt to rush out a Fergie-free product in time for Christmas.

The Football Association have declared their intention to resolve the misconduct case against Nottingham Forest following the "bungs" inquiry early next year after criticism from the club at the delay.

Forest's chief executive, Phil Soar, told the club's annual meeting the 11-month delay since the charges were made was an "absolute disgrace."

Forest were charged with misconduct for "failing to properly supervise their employees" in a number of transfer dealings which took place while the club was managed by Brian Clough in the late 1980s and early 1990s.
