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.

Strathclyde Police yesterday confirmed they are investigating claims by Rangers that two of their players were racially abused. The players allegedly received the abuse via their Twitter accounts.

Neither player was named by police or the club. However, Kyle Bartley – who spent last season on loan at Rangers from Arsenal – indicated on his own Twitter page that the players targeted were Sone Aluko and Maurice Edu.
