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.Carnoustie's fearsome reputation could be a big factor when the world's best tee it up tomorrow at the Women's British Open, but Catriona Matthew is one of the few who knows she can thrive at the course.
The North Berwick 41-year-old won the first of her three Scottish Amateur Championships over the notorious links in 1991 and is relishing the test of the next four days. Matthew won the title at Royal Lytham and St Annes two years ago, and with four top tens already this year, she believes she is in form to challenge for the first prize. "I've prepared well, working with my coach, Kevin Craggs, and obviously I have an advantage in that I know the course," said Matthew.
