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.Stoke are hopeful key midfielder Matthew Etherington could return to action within weeks.
Etherington suffered a knee injury in Saturday's FA Cup tie against Manchester City but a scan has revealed no serious ligament damage.
Manager Tony Pulis told the club's website, www.stokecityfc.com: "The news is as good as it could be at this stage.
"If the cruciate ligament had been damaged then it would have been a long lay-off, but we're now hoping that he will be back in action sooner rather than later."
Stoke will now allow the injury to settle down before determining the exact length of the 28-year-old's absence.
