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 air of optimism which has surrounded Celtic since the arrival of Fergus McCann as the chief executive brought a crowd of just over 36,000 to Celtic Park for the match against Motherwell, but that was replaced by despondency as Motherwell's Dougie Arnott scored the only goal to keep some pressure on Rangers at the top, writes David McKinney.
Meanwhile, Rangers beat Hearts 2-1 as the striking partnership of Ally McCoist and Mark Hateley scored the goals which maintained the club's four-point lead. Third- placed Aberdeen beat Dundee United 1-0 at Pittodrie.
The relegation battle between St Johnstone and Raith Rovers was won 2-0 by the Perth side. Billy Dodds scored both, taking his run to nine goals in 15 games.
A crowd of 13,357 watched the First Division's top two clubs, Dunfermline and Falkirk, draw 1-1 at East End Park, while Hamilton scored nine goals against bottom club Brechin. In the Second Division Cowdenbeath maintained their unenviable home record - they have now gone 38 games without winning at Central Park - as Berwick Rangers trounced them 5-1.
