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.

Your support makes all the difference.

Although the champagne was popped back in the fridge yesterday at least until next weekend, Bolton Wanderers are all but back in the Premiership after one season away. Their celebrations were put on hold after promotion aspirants Wolverhampton Wanderers fought back to earn a point against QPR at Loftus Road.

Bolton - 17 points clear of Barnsley at the top of the First Division at the start of the day and without a game - would have gained automatic promotion had Wolves lost, but Keith Curle's 70th-minute equaliser from the penalty spot at Loftus Road means they must wait a little while longer.
