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 owner of Pets at Home is looking for a new boss after its chief executive Matt Davies, right, announced he will step down next year.

Mr Davies has been in charge of the pet food and accessories firm for seven years and has guided the business through two private equity takeovers.

The company, which has 295 stores and more than 5,000 staff, is owned by KKR after a £950m takeover in January 2010. Mr Davies, who is leaving to pursue other opportunities, will remain in charge until a successor is found.
