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 London Monarchs will play their World League matches at Chelsea's Stamford Bridge next season. The Monarchs, who have played at Tottenham's White Hart Lane for the past two seasons, have signed a two-year contract. Stamford Bridge hosted the final game of the Monarchs' 1996 season.

The Dallas Cowboys will be the best represented team at the 1997 Pro Bowl with nine players at the National Football League's annual post-season all-star game. The Denver Broncos and the Carolina Panthers each had seven players selected yesterday. Green Bay Packers' defensive end, Reggie White, and San Francisco 49ers' wide receiver, Jerry Rice, were selected for a record 11th time. White, 35 next week, has signed a contract with Green Bay said to be worth $19m (pounds 11.8m) over five years.
