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.A last-gasp lunge for the line by Team Sky's Greg Henderson in stage one of the Paris-Nice race yesterday netted the British squad their sixth victory of 2010.
After 201km of racing, the New Zealander's margin of victory was barely a tyre's width ahead of Slovenian Grega Bole. In an action-packed final hour, race favourite Alberto Contador found himself on the wrong side of the split then crashed into a field 3km from the line.
The Astana leader eventually lost 17 seconds, dropping from fourth to eighth while Scotland's David Millar moved up to third overall.
