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 stakes have been raised for the already mouthwatering prospect of Conor McGregor vs Jose Aldo at UFC 194 on 12 December.
The winner of the featherweight championship clash will grace the cover of the upcoming UFC 2 computer game alongside Ronda Rousey.
The fight was originally planned for UFC 189 in July, but Aldo pulled out with a rib injury.
In the build up to the rearranged bout, the colourful Irishman McGregor has described himself as an "unstoppable beast".
“I’m an animal,” McGregor said. “I’ll tell you what, because I’m a beast. Nothing can break me. Nothing can stop this train from taking over this game. Absolutely nothing. I had a busted up leg and [Aldo’s camp] knew I had a busted up leg and they planned to target it. They celebrated it, because it happened on the world (press) tour. Their whole camp knew it, and they celebrated and plotted a way to attack it.”
