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.High winds again forced the Thrust SuperSonic Car team to delay an attempt last night to break the sound barrier on land.
The British team had hoped the weather would be calm enough for its car to make a run at supersonic speed ( at current temperatures some 760mph) on Nevada's remote Black Rock desert. "The wind just did not drop," said Richard Noble, the team leader. The team would reassess the situation but the weather did not look promising.
