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.

Faltering opening batsman Phillip Hughes found his place in Australia's Test team under threat from two directions at Northampton yesterday.

Exposed again as vulnerable to short-pitched balls on off stump as Northamptonshire seamer David Wigley bounced him out for just 10 – caught at gully off the splice – the 20-year- old left-hander then watched Shane Watson, the man most likely to unseat him at Edgbaston, stroke a confident 84 on the first day of the three-day tour game at Wantage Road.

On a rain-disrupted day, Australia had reached 231 for three before bad light stopped play.
