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.

Britain's women's eight picked up a bronze medal at the World Championships in Bled, Slovenia yesterday.

Current Paralympic champion, Tom Aggar, got gold in the AS single scull which he also won in Slovenia last year. However, the lightweight men's four of Chris Bartley, Paul Mattick, Rob Williams and Richard Chambers failed to defend their title as they finished third, with the gold going to Australia and Italy taking the silver.
