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.

Sir Bradley Wiggins will lead a strong Team Sky squad in the Tour of Britain which begins in Peebles near Edinburgh a week on Sunday.

The Tour de France champion and Olympic time-trial winner missed last year's race due to a stomach complaint. He said: "The crowds make it special and it's always very humbling to see the fantastic support we get from the public."

Wiggins will form part of a six-man Team Sky squad that includes two other Britons, Ian Stannard and Josh Edmondson but not last year's winner Jonathan Tiernan-Locke.
