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.J J Lehto, the Finnish driver, was in a satisfactory condition in a clinic yesterday after a high-speed crash during his first test session with the Benetton team at Silverstone. He spun at Stowe corner at around 130mph on Friday, the rear of his new B194 taking the brunt of the impact on the safety barriers. He was cut from the car after losing consciousness and taken to hospital suffering from a damaged neck vertebra. He was reported to be keen to return to the track, ahead of the start of the Formula One season in Brazil in March.
