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.

Frank Lampard's new book is definitely a work of fiction.

5 February sees the release of "Frankie's New York Adventure", the ninth book in his "Frankie's Magic Football" series for children.

The midfielder was, of course, set to move to MLS side New York FC this month, but instead has extended his stay at New York's parent club Manchester City until the end of the season, after it was announced that he had never actually signed for the Major League Soccer side.

The 36-year-old had, however, only agreed a non-binding commitment to play for New York after leaving Chelsea, creating an embarrassing situation for both club and player.

He will finally move to New York on a two-year deal in the summer.

This will surely not be sold in New York FC's club shop any time soon.
