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.

Former footballer Curtis Woodhouse won the British light-welterweight title with a split decision over Darren Hamilton on Saturday – then confirmed his retirement.

Woodhouse, 33, was said to have backed himself at 50-1 when he started as a fighter to win the title. “I can neither confirm nor deny the rumours,” he said, “but the drinks are on me.”
