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.DON HUTCHISON, Everton's newly converted striker, is out of today's game against Wimbledon because of a one-match suspension. Hutchison, who is on the brink of signing a new, long-term contract as well as a call- up for Scotland, will have to sit out the game at Goodison Park.
Also out for the home side is Ibrahima Bakayoko, who is away on international duty with the Ivory Coast for today's African Nations' Cup tie with Congo.
It means that the Everton manager Walter Smith will be left with a teenage strikeforce of Francis Jeffers and Danny Cadamarteri.
Michael Hughes returns to the Wimbledon squad after flu ruled him out of last Sunday's goalless draw against Aston Villa.
The visitors, who have not scored in their last six cup and League games, will be without Carl Leaburn, out with a thigh injury, and John Hartson is still banned. They have lost only one of their six Premiership visits to Everton but three of them have been goalless.
