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.

Great Britain cruised to a second straight victory over Portugal in as many days as they continued their Olympic preparations in Sheffield yesterday. Following on from Saturday's 83-68 win, GB turned in a more rounded performance with big contributions off the bench as they built a lead early and kept pulling away.

Kyle Johnson had an impact off the bench, making his first seven field-goal attempts – including three big threes – as he helped push the lead to 81-57 midway through the final quarter. Johnson finished as the leading scorer with 21 points.
