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.

Rallying: Rowe back in the driver's seat

Martin Rowe, the holder of the Mobil 1 British Championship title, made a flying start to the defence of his title yesterday after overcoming an early scare. Rowe roared into the lead at the Vauxhall Rally of Wales despite suffering a problem with the water pump in his Renault Megane on the way from the event's base at Wrexham to the first stage. Rowe, from the Isle of Man, still managed to open a significant early advantage of 19.1sec over second-placed Gwyndaf Evans, of Wales.
