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.

Great Britain and Ireland’s hopes of retaining the Walker Cup were ended last night in Southampton, New York, as the United States wrapped up victory.

Starting the final day 8-4 ahead, the Americans went into the singles 10-6 up after the morning foursomes were shared, the visitors’ Gavin Moynihan and Kevin Phelan edging out Patrick Rodgers and Jordan Niebrugge in the last match to give Europe some hope.

However, with the US needing just three-and-a half points from the 10 singles matches, they clinched victory when Nathan Smith beat Nathan Kimsey in match five.
