Your support helps us to tell the story
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.

At Trent Park the men went even better on the same afternoon to beat second-placed Southgate 4-1 in their Premier Division with goals from Sam Ornbo, Tim Benford, Andrew Langlands and Jerome Goudie. Yesterday, however, in the EHA Cup they were leading Cannock 3-1 at the interval only to concede two late goals and end up being beaten 5-4 on penalty strokes.
Bowden and Belper, both heading their regional leagues, accounted for National League First Division opponents in the Cup. Bowden, with Jeremy Plastow scoring twice, beat Barford Tigers 4-3 while Belper's James Stedman scored both his side's goals in a 2-1 victory against Stourport.
The former Teddington striker Andy Billson, now Northampton Saints' player-coach, scored twice as Saints beat another National League side Harleston Magpies 3-1, while Old Georgians thrashed East Grinstead 5-2.
The day's biggest Cup win was Beeston's 10-2 defeat of Solihull Blossomfield, in which James McBlane scored five. Surbiton's South African Greg Nicol got two in their 4-2 win at Guildford which keeps them top of the Premier Division and then four in yesterday's 5-1 Cup win against Bromley.
