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.If there was one complaint among the massed ranks of Rangers support about the footballing outcome of Wednesday's Uefa Cup final against Zenit St Petersburg, it has yet to be voiced.
There was regret that a tiny minority of drunken idiots had reacted to a broken big screen by lobbing bottles and assaulting policemen, tarring by association some 150,000 others who had a peaceful party in Manchester.
But the unanimous verdict on what happened on the pitch was: "The best team won." Zenit's Andrei Arshavin in particular shone, but Dick Advocaat's entire team contributed to a fine, passing victory.
The question now is can Rangers continue to show the resolve and collective will to win in the season's final four games.
Three SPL games remain, all away, starting at Motherwell tomorrow, then St Mirren on Monday and Aberdeen on Thursday. Win all three and they will be champions, with a Scottish Cup final to come on 24 May against Queen of the South. Anything less and they become dependent on what Celtic do at Dundee United on Thursday.
