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.England appear to be running out of time if they are hoping to beat the weather as well as Australia in the rain-reduced third npower Test at Edgbaston.
Following today's washout, England have only two days in which to turn a promising position into the victory they need to go 2-0 up with two matches to play - and the advice from the weather experts is not especially encouraging.
The good news from MeteoGroup, the weather division of the Press Association, is that the heaviest rain has gone for good until after the end of the match - and tomorrow at least is set to be dry.
"The worst of the bad weather has gone," said a spokesman.
"Tomorrow they should get a full day. But on Monday, there could be a few showers."
If the match progresses significantly in the meantime, however, it appears unlikely the final day will be a write-off.
"It will be pretty overcast on Monday, with showers spreading in from the west," the spokesman added.
"Birmingham could have a few spots of rain or drizzle."
