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.Swansea have confirmed the signing of left-back Dwight Tiendalli on a free transfer.
The 26-year-old Dutchman, who left FC Twente over the summer, has joined the Swans until the end of the season although the deal has yet to be ratified by the Premier League.
Tiendalli will provide defensive cover for Neil Taylor, who is expected to be sidelined for the rest of the campaign after fracturing his ankle against Sunderland 10 days ago.
"I'm looking forward to working under Michael Laudrup, who is a massive name in football, and showing him what I have to offer," Tiendalli said on http://www.swanseacity.net.
"Playing in the Premier League is something I have always wanted to do - it's the best league in the world.
"I know my opportunity comes after an unfortunate injury for Neil Taylor, but hopefully I can bring experience to the squad and more options for the manager.
"It would be great to play on Saturday against Aston Villa, but my concentration first and foremost is to impress the manager in training and get used to my new team-mates."
Tiendalli began his career with Ajax before moving on to spells with Utrecht, Feyenoord, Sparta Rotterdam and Twente.
