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 are closing in on the signing of Lazio captain Lucas Biglia, with a four-year deal agreed according to reports.
According to reports in France, the Argentina midfielder has agreed personal terms with United, who had a £17m bid rejected earlier this summer. It has been reported that the Serie A side are holding out for £25m.
French news source Le10sport.com have claimed that the 29-year-old has agreed to the deal, and that all needs to be sorted is the transfer fee.
Elsewhere, United have made a 'discreet enquiry' for Tottenham striker Harry Kane, according to reports, even though Louis van Gaal has publicly stated that strengthening the position is not a priority.
Van Gaal has admitted he could add another centre-back, while there is still uncertainty in goal with David De Gea close to a move to Real Madrid.
The Daily Mirror report that the club have made a 'discreet enquiry' for the 22-year-old, who scored 31 goals last season for Spurs.
