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 will cash in on Juan Sebastian Veron to raise money for Sir Alex Ferguson's summer spending if one of the Argentinian's European admirers can offer in excess of £20m.
Veron has sworn his loyalty to Ferguson, the United manager, for standing by him after a disappointing debut season at Old Trafford, but now financial issues are taking over the question of his future.
Rio Ferdinand will cost more than the £28m that Ferguson thought would force Leeds United to sell. A fee closer to £35m may be needed to make the Elland Road club sell their England defender. Ferguson will be given money for Ferdinand and three other purchases but there will have to be one major player sold in order to partially balance the books.
Everton are poised to sign the Nigerian World Cup defender Joseph Yobo from the French side Marseilles.
