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.With little time to savour the three gold medals, two silver and three bronzes that Britain won at the World Short-Course Championships in Spain last week, the squad returns to competition in the Amateur Swimming Association's Winter Championships at Gloucester. In fact, Nick Gillingham, the 200 metres breaststroke swimmer who joins Britain's other short-course world champions, Mark Foster and Karen Pickering, at Gloucester, welcomes a busy programme that will keep him sharp for next year's Commonwealth Games and the World Long- Course Championships. The 11 British records that tumbled last weekend and the best medal tally since 1975 point to quality racing at Gloucester.
