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.

Juventus and Lazio have been in poor form of late, the Turin club losing two of their last four games, Lazio three of their last five. Last Sunday, Juventus went down 3-0 to Bologna while Lazio were held to a 3-3 draw by Roma.. On Wednesday, however, Juventus drew their postponed Champions' League game with Galatasaray 1-1, while on Thursday Lazio beat Internazionale 2-1 in the first leg of their Italian Cup quarter-final.
Without long-term injury victim Alessandro Del Piero, Juve continue to field their makeshift strike force of Filippo Inzaghi and Zinedine Zidane.
Roberto Mancini and the Chilean Marcelo Salas continue to lead the Lazio attack while the Italian international defender Alessandro Nesta may return to feature in his first Serie A game since injuring himself in the opening minutes of Italy's first-round game against Austria at France '98. The record books holds out little hope for Lazio: the Rome club has won only five out of 55 league games played against Juventus in Turin.
OTHER SERIE A MATCHES: Today Fiorentina v Bologna; Roma v Perugia; Sampdoria v Parma. Tomorrow Cagliari v Venezia; Milan v Udinese; Piacenza v Empoli; Salernitana v Bari; Vicenza v Internazionale.
