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.

BRITAIN'S Janet Soulsby hit four birdies in a stunning homeward run of 33 to share the lead after the first round of the Irish Holidays Open in Dublin yesterday.

Soulsby, from Northumberland, finished alongside the Irish amateur, Tracy Eakin, and American Jean Bartholomew on 68 - four under par and one stroke ahead of a group of four, including Scotland's Dale Reid.

But another British player, Laura Davies, is also in contention after a 70 in her first appearance on the St Margaret's course.

The best shot of the day came from Bartholomew, who holed a 230-yard, three-iron for an albatross at the 465-yard 16th hole.
