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.

England international Alex Hales has signed a new three-year contract with Nottinghamshire after being given the go-ahead to play in the Indian Premier League.

Hales, who is ranked the world’s No 1 batsman in international Twenty20 cricket, admitted he was considering becoming a freelance T20 player.

Nottinghamshire refused to allow players to take part in the IPL this year, but have relented in Hales’ case provided he secures at least £250,000 worth of contracts.
