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.

Laura Davies will have the chance to become the leading points scorer in Solheim Cup history when Europe begin their biennial dust-up with America in Chicago today.

The Englishwoman is one point behind the Swede Annika Sorenstam, who retired last year.

Europe, led by Alison Nicholas, are the underdogs. All of Beth Daniel's US team are in the world's top 50, including the 19-year-old Michelle Wie, who is making her cup debut. But Nicholas does have the Women's British Open winner, Catriona Matthew, in her ranks.
