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.

Max Biaggi took a giant stride towards his second World Superbike Championship title after extending his lead in the riders' standings to 30.5 points after yesterday's two races at Portimao in Portugal.

The Italian, who rides for Aprilia, finished fourth in race one and third in race two, while BMW's Marco Melandri, his closest rival at the start of the day, crashed in the first race and missed the second because of a bruised kidney.
