Your support helps us to tell the story
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.

FAUSTINO ASPRILLA, the Colombian striker who plays for the Italian club, Parma, could be out of the game for six weeks. Asprilla injured his Achilles tendon on broken glass in a household accident in Tulua, central Colombia.
ROY HODGSON'S contract as the Switzerland coach has been extended to include the 1996 European Championship finals in England. His original contract was due to expire in July 1994 after the World Cup in the United States.
PERRY GROVES, the Southampton winger, has aggravated his Achilles tendon injury and may struggle to be fit for the start of next season. Groves, who had just had the plaster removed, slipped at home and landed awkwardly on the damaged tendon. Groves will need another operation.
LEEDS are again without the England pair, Tony Dorigo and David Batty, for today's visit to Norwich. Dorigo is still troubled by the ankle ligament injury which cost him his England place against Turkey, while Batty has not yet shaken off the knee problem which ruled him out of contention in Turkey. The captain, Gary McAllister is fit.
MONDAY'S LATE RESULT: Argentine League: San Lorenzo de Almagro 2 Estudiantes de La Plata 2.
