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.

The Chelsea forward gave Vicente del Bosque's side the lead after 12 minutes in Berne, back-heading Beñat's cross in from close range. South Korean goalkeeper Kim Jin-hyeon made several eye-catching saves before his side gained parity on the stroke of half-time, Kim Do-heon thrashing past Pepe Reina from 30 yards.
Xabi Alonso restored Spain's lead after the break from the spot and a Santi Cazorla free-kick extended the advantage. Alvaro Negredo added a fourth with 12 minutes remaining.
Elsewhere, Sweden – group stage opponents for England next month – beat Iceland 3-2 in Gothenburg, Zlatan Ibrahimovic among the scorers. The Netherlands also enjoyed a comfortable victory, beating Slovakia 2-0 in Rotterdam. A Kornel Salata own goal and a second from Tottenham's Rafael van der Vaart enabled them to recover from successive defeats by Bayern Munich and Bulgaria.
