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.Day 12 of the Rio Games features medal action in track and field, beach volleyball, wrestling and more. Here are some things to watch (all times local):
Expect a good showdown between Dafne Schippers of the Netherlands and Tori Bowie of the U.S. in the 200 meters at 10:30 p.m. following semifinals Tuesday night. Bowie is coming off a silver in the 100. There's no worry about Allyson Felix , the reigning Olympic champ, because she didn't qualify at Olympic trials.
And then, of course, there's Usain Bolt as he takes another step toward another sweep in the sprints. The Jamaican was 3 for 3 in Beijing and again in London. And so far he's 1 for 1 in Rio. Semifinals start at 10 p.m.
Lydia Ko of New Zealand, Brooke Henderson of Canada and the top nine women in the world tee it up starting at 7:30 a.m. at Olympic Golf Course, the first time for women playing golf in the Olympics since 1900.
Inbee Park is among four South Koreans in the 60-player field. The seven-time major champion has not played on the LPGA Tour in two months because of a thumb injury. The Americans have three players, including newlywed Stacy Lewis.
Japanese wrestler Kaori Icho will attempt to become the first woman to win an individual gold at four consecutive Olympics. Five men have done it, including Carl Lewis and Michael Phelps (2016)
