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.

Olympics boost for Skelton

British Olympic team member Nick Skelton leaves for Atlanta on a high note after winning his third King George V Gold Cup at the Royal International Horse Show at Hickstead yesterday, writes Mary Gordon Watson. In 1993 he had the only clear round on Limited Edition but he had to work much harder on Cathleen to win back this prestigious trophy. Earlier Ireland's Mary Hughes on Flo-Jo won the Queen Elizabeth II Cup in a competition which saw no clear rounds recorded.
