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.

Manchester United's players plus their wives and girlfriends all let their hair down at the club's Christmas Party, especially Robin van Persie by the looks of things, the Dutch striker wearing a Marouane Fellaini-style afro wig.

Four wins on the bounce means United end the year in better circumstances than they started it.

Since the turn of the year, Louis van Gaal has replaced David Moyes and £160m of talent bought over the summer has catapulted them to fourth place in the division.

The players headed to The Place Aparthotel in Manchester following their 2-0 victory over Stoke City on Tuesday night for the party.
