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.

National performance director Michael Scott has been encouraged by the performances of the men at the British Swimming Championships in Sheffield.

The likes of Rebecca Adlington, Joanne Jackson, Gemma Spofforth, Francesca Halsall and Keri-Anne Payne have taken prominence in recent years but Scott believes there were encouraging signs at the competition at Ponds Forge which ended last night, pointing to Adam Brown and Roberto Pavoni, who both claimed national titles. "The females raised the bar and our job is to make the males go with them and we are starting to see that," said Scott.
