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.Aston Villa’s good start to the season came to a halt in spectacular fashion as they were knocked out of the Capital One Cup 1-0 at home by League One side Leyton Orient.
It was a bad night for Villa striker Darren Bent, who missed two gilt-edged chances before Romain Vincelot headed home Orient’s winner with three minutes to go. The defeat sparked sections of the Villa support to call for manager Paul Lambert to go.
Stoke eased to a 3-0 win over League Two Portsmouth, Jonathan Walters scoring twice for Mark Hughes’ side and setting up the third for Peter Crouch against his old club.
In last night’s third-round draw, MK Dons got a home tie with Bradford as their reward for shocking Manchester United, while holders Manchester City face Sheffield Wednesday. There are five all-Premier League games.
