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 third round of the Mintex National Rally Series moves to the Isle of Man, where the Cop- y-Cat Manx National will be run over closed public roads tomorrow, starting and finishing in Douglas. Being a one-day rally, there is no margin for error and the tarmac surfaces will draw fast times from the 140 crews. Tight corners, narrow lanes, chicanes, a watersplash and airborne antics in the 11th stage will make for good spectating.
