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.Wayne Rooney will be offered £75million to join former England manager Sven-Goran Eriksson in China, according to reports.
The Chinese Super League are desperate to land the Manchester United and England captain and will offer him a three-year deal to become their poster boy, according to the Daily Mail.
The 30-year-old would likely join Shangahi SIPG, where Eriksson is manager, if he accepted the offer.
Rooney would also be given image rights in an attempt to grow the league's global appeal.
Chelsea captain John Terry is another player also said to be interesting the CSL.
Rooney is under contract at Old Trafford until 2019 but he is already said to be thinking about his long-term future.
Major League Soccer is another appealing destination, although they could not offer the same kind of money as China, which works out to around £480,000-a-week.
Rooney will make an announcement on his international future after Euro 2016, a decision that will change his future at club level.
With Rooney currently injured but previously out of form - and United said to be looking at superstar targets - it remains to be seen whether he could be tempted away by a large payday.
