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.

The Indian captain was bowled round his legs by Ravindra Pushpakumara for 15, while his side extended their total from 133 for 1 after the rain- hit first day.

Heavy rain stopped the Australian openers, Mark Taylor and Matthew Elliot, pushing on from their solid start against New Zealand in the third Test in Hobart yesterday. After an early lunch, the second and third sessions were washed out with Australia left on 39 for 0.
