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.

Olympic 800m champion and world record-holder David Rudisha will miss the remainder of the season and is unlikely to race again until at least March, the Kenyan athlete’s coach has said.

Rudisha pulled out of next month’s World Championships in Moscow after failing to recover from a knee injury that will prevent him from defending his 800m crown.

His coach, Colm O’Connell, said: “His knee is actually already healing but Moscow came a bit too soon.”
