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.

Tim Henman is winning his fitness fight to lead Great Britain's Davis Cup promotion bid against Egypt at Wimbledon, which starts on Friday.

The world No 33 has been troubled by a groin injury after his defeat by Stefan Edberg in the US Open earlier this month, but survived his first practice session yesterday.

A Lawn Tennis Association spokesman said: "He came through without any problems and unless there is reaction he looks certain to play at the weekend."

Britain's side is completed by Greg Rusedski, Mark Petchey and the doubles specialist Neil Broad, who won the Olympic Games silver medal alongside Henman in Atlanta.
