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.Jon Macken will make his latest attempt at a comeback for Manchester City tonight as he tries to salvage something from a season of misery.
The £5m striker is fit enough to play for the reserves after starting training following his thigh injury which stopped his previous return from a long-term knee problem. City will have a strong side out, including Steve Howey and Richard Dunne, with several in the shop window before a summer clear-out by Kevin Keegan.
Southampton's young Australian striker Scott McDonald is joining Brian Talbot's Rushden & Diamonds in a surprise move. The teenager made a handful of appearances for the Saints, but has been left out by Gordon Strachan this season.
The Coventry player-manager, Gary McAllister, is giving Alloa's highly rated right-midfielder Paul Walker an opportunity to train with the club and a chance to make a career in England. McAllister's scouts have been positive about Walker, who also trained with Kilmarnock recently, and the former Scotland captain wants a close-hand look before committing to a deal.
The Coventry manager is slashing his budget this summer and Walker could benefit from the change of planning at Highfield Road.
