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 Duke of Sussex has gone behind the scenes at the US Grand Prix in Austin, Texas.

Harry wore a black polo shirt and sunglasses as he met the Mercedes team on Sunday.

In photos from the visit, Harry could be seen chatting with the engineers.

He also toured the Mercedes garage at the track.

After his tour, the duke appeared to conduct an interview with a television crew.

Mercedes’ Sir Lewis Hamilton was defeated in the grand prix by Max Verstappen on Sunday.

Sir Lewis has not won a race for nearly two years, the longest losing streak of his career.
