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.

West Ham United are close to agreeing a deal with Nice for the striker Loïc Rémy for a fee of around £12m. A bid of £11.2m for the 23-year-old French international was turned down a week ago but West Ham's co-owners, David Gold and David Sullivan, have not been deterred. Sullivan was reported to have flown to Nice yesterday to complete the deal. The major stumbling block is believed to be the timetable for paying the fee. On Friday, West Ham signed the Mexican winger Pablo Barrera for £4m from Pumas.
