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.Miguel Indurain retired from the Tour of Spain 30km from the end of yesterday's 13th stage after struggling to keep in touch with the pack in a tough mountain section. The five-times Tour de France winner, who started the section in third place overall, had slowed to talk to the team doctor on several occasions. The decision to drop out has prompted further speculation that Indurain will announce his retirement from competition soon.
