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.

JAGUAR is facing a High Court battle over its pounds 415,000 supercar, the XJ220. Some buyers have refused to pay the latest pounds 50,000 instalment now falling due, after seeing the car's value plummet.

JaguarSport - a joint Jaguar-TWR venture - has issued writs against several buyers for non-payment, but at least one customer is planning to challenge the order in the High Court.

Michael Pearson, heir to Lord Cowdray of Midhurst, West Sussex, said Jaguar was responsible for undermining the XJ220's value by producing a rival supercar, the XJR15, and he would be pressing to be released from his contract.
