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.THE future of Britain's first Formula One world champion for 16 years hangs in the balance as Nigel Mansell suggests retirement (again) is preferable to driving for a team other than Williams- Renault next season. The euphoria following his long- awaited title, which is guaranteed by his second- place finish in the Hungarian Grand Prix, is diluted by reports that France's former world champion, Alain Prost, has already signed with Williams, and that the outgoing title-holder, Ayrton Senna, is willing to join the team at a discount.
Arsenal make a predictable response to their installation as favourites for football's first Premier League championship by losing their first two matches of the season. Despite the fact they display superiority, they manage to lose 4-2 to Norwich City, then fall 1-0 to Blackburn Rovers.
The England cricket team win the one-day Texaco Trophy against Pakistan, as consolation for losing the Test series, by taking a 3-0 lead in the five-match series with a thumping 198-run victory at Trent Bridge. Middlesex win their first Sunday League title.
Nick Price, of Zimbabwe, breaks the American hold on the US PGA Championship by finishing three strokes better in St Louis.
