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.The F1 circus rolls into England this week offering spectators the opportunity to witness Britain's Damon Hill further consolidate his impressive lead in the world championship. If you were lucky enough to secure tickets in advance, a weekend of top-class racing is in prospect. Hill has been dominant, while defending champion Michael Schumacher struggles for reliabilty in his Ferrari. A victory in front of a partisan crowd will be Hill's firm objective but he will face formidable competition from the fast-improving McLarens and his teammate Jacques Villeneuve.
