This week in Independent
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.

David Llewellyn finds out from leading figures where the game will be won and lost, and Tim Glover speaks to Mark Regan, the England hooker, about their problems this season.
Batman as a
boy wonder
At 22 Sachin Tendulkar has become the idol of the sub-continent, with a $10m sponsorship contract his latest reward. The entire planet will be at his feet if his brilliance can win cricket's World Cup for India. Robert Winder reports on the making of a legend.
The cup that
runneth over
The weather-struck FA Cup is behind schedule and the fifth round is still alive and kicking. Forest v Spurs is the big all-Premiership tie, while Grimsby have earned a replay at Stamford Bridge and Charlton have the unenviable job of trying to unsettle Liverpool at Anfield.
