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.

McRae comfortable with cushion

Scotland's Colin McRae is poised for victory in the first round of the Indonesian Rally. Yesterday McRae set off at a blistering pace and Sweden's Kenneth Eriksson, who started the day 11 seconds adrift, could do nothing to close the gap. By the end of 10 timed stages, McRae's Subaru Impreza 555 had a lead of more than two minutes. With one day remaining, the Scot knows that the onus is on him. "A two-minute time cushion means I don't need to take any stupid risks," he said. "My focus now will be on winning without having to worry about the odd second here and there."
