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.

Malcolm Elliott took an overall lead of one second over Mexico's Raul Alcala after the second stage of the Tour DuPont in Maryland. Elliott, 32, the British road race champion, gained three seconds after winning a designated sprint about 86 miles into the 115-mile stage from Port Deposit to Hagerstown, won by the German amateur Sven Teutenberg in 5hr 56min 29sec. Elliott, who won two stages and finished sixth last year, claimed his bonus time on the second of the race's two bonus sprints having misjudged the first.
