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.

Crystal Palace supporters called for the resignation of the club's manager, Alan Smith, as they slumped to their sixth successive defeat, a 1-0 reverse at home to Grimsby last night. The Mariners notched up their first away win of the season after an awful error from the Latvian international goalkeeper Alexanders Kolinko presented Bradley Allen with his fifth goal of the season, which was enough to claim the points.

Crewe's manager Dario Gradi was relieved to stop the rot after a run of four straight defeats thanks to a 73rd-minute Colin Cramb header which gave them a 1-0 win over fellow strugglers Huddersfield, who have now gone 12 games without a win. "That is as bad as we have played, apart from at Fulham, although I thought they played well for a side bottom of the league," Gradi said.

Sheffield United kept up with the pace, Shaun Murphy's 68th-minute goal bringing a 1-0 win over injury-ravaged Stockport, while Portsmouth extended their unbeaten run under new player-manager Steve Claridge with a 0-0 draw at Norwich.

Goals from Kevin Muscat and Temuri Ketsbaia gave Wolves their first away win of the season, a 2-1 success at Barnsley.
