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.

Your support makes all the difference.

The LA Dodgers and Major League Baseball have agreed "to a court-supervised process to sell the team".

The agreement caps a tumultuous year for the Dodgers and the tenure of Frank McCourt. In April, MLB took control of the Dodgers, a team increasingly paralysed by the bitter divorce of McCourt and his wife, Jamie, who had served as the team's CEO until he fired her in 2009. The new owner would be the third since Peter O'Malley sold the team to News Corp in 1998.
