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.Morocco has decided not to send a team to Israel for a Davis Cup tie later this month for security reasons. The decision was made in the wake of two Jerusalem bombings, one of which, on 30 July, killed 17 people and injured 170.
Greg Rusedski, having reached the semi-finals of the Samsung Open at Bournemouth last week, officially moved to No 10 in the ATP world rankings yesterday to erase Roger Taylor's 24-year-old British record. Taylor achieved the No 11 spot in September, 1973, so Rusedski, beaten in the US Open final in New York eight days ago, is the first British player to achieve a top 10 ranking since they began in 1973.
