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.

Bolton midfielder Stuart Holden has signed a contract extension which keeps him at the club until 2013.

The 25-year-old American joined Wanderers in January from Houston Dynamo and has now committed his future to the club.

He told the club's official website www.bwfc.co.uk: "I'm really excited because I love being at the club. I couldn't ask to be around better fans, management staff and players.

"I was given an opportunity by the manager (Owen Coyle) to show that I can play at this level and I'm extremely grateful for that. The confidence that he has shown in me has really allowed me to push on."

Holden has started each of Bolton's six Barclays Premier League games this season after being limited to just one league start last term following his arrival at the start of the year.

"I had a bit of a setback with the injury last season, but that made me more determined to make an impact when I came back for pre-season," he said.

"I've had a good start to this campaign and I'm looking forward to continuing playing and helping Bolton as much as I possibly can."
