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.

Britain's Olympic champion Linford Christie proved his top form over 60 metres in the run-up to next week's world indoor athletics championships with an impressive 6.49 seconds yesterday. Christie held off Canada's Donovan Bailey for victory at the Sindelfingen indoor event. Michael Johnson set an indoor world record at 400m of 44.63 second yesterday at the US indoor athletics championships in Atlanta. Also in Atlanta, Lance Deal, of the US, broke his own world 35lb hammer-throw record three times, achieving a final best of 25.86m. In Bucharest, Mihaela Melinte, of Romania, set a world record in the women's hammer with a throw of 66.86m.
