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.Scotland goalkeeper Craig Gordon has been ruled out of tonight's World Cup qualifier against Holland, Press Association Sport understands.
Gordon, 26, has failed to recover from a thigh injury and will be replaced for the crunch Group Nine clash by David Marshall.
The news is a huge blow for Scotland's hopes of reaching the play-offs, with Gordon in inspirational form in Saturday's 2-0 victory over Macedonia.
Manager George Burley gave him as long as possible to prove his fitness, but the game comes too soon for the Sunderland goalkeeper.
Gordon sat out training on Monday, and Burley had been hoping he would recover in time.
Norwich's Marshall, 24, will win just his fourth cap.
He made his competitive debut in last month's 4-0 defeat in Norway and has conceded 11 goals in his three appearances to date.
