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.West Ham defender Danny Gabbidon has been handed an improper conduct charge by the Football Association following comments posted on his Twitter account.
He put up a foul-mouthed message in the wake of West Ham's 2-1 home defeat to Aston Villa on 16 April and has since closed down his account.
Gabbidon wrote: "U know what, fuck the lot of you, u will never get another tweet from me again, you just don't get it do you. Bye bye."
