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.Andy Murray comfortably lost at The O2 to Rafa Nadal this afternoon, falling to the Spaniard pretty quickly in a 6-4 6-1 defeat.
But the Scot, currently ranked No 2 in the world, can't blame his hair.
After trading breaks in a tight first set Murray looked agitated but seized on his chance during the change of ends.
Reaching into his bag Murray took out a pair of scissors and snipped off an inch of hair that he had been playing with in the previous couple of games.
The chop had an instant impact (probably) as he was able to hold serve for the first time in the match in the next game.
But it wasn't his day, with Nadal dominating the second set to come away with a victory.
