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.

Mark Foster, who lost his 50 metres freestyle short-course world mark to Alexander Popov last Sunday, equalled the 50 metres butterfly world best short-course time of 23.72sec he set in the same Gelsenkirchen pool in February last year. Popov, the Olympic champion from Russia, broke the men's 100 metres freestyle short-course world record for the fourth time this year at the same World Cup meet in Gelsenkirchen, Germany.
