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's showjumpers added the European team title to their London Olympics gold medal following a dramatic victory in Herning, Denmark. The British quartet of Ben Maher, Michael Whitaker, William Funnell and Scott Brash prevailed by just 0.59 penalties from silver medallists Germany.

Meanwhile Charlotte Dujardin set a new world record but Great Britain fell agonisingly short in their bid to retain the European dressage team title. Dujardin, a double Olympic gold medallist last year, broke her own world best of 84.447 per cent but had to settle for bronze.
