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.

A winding-up petition against Sheffield Wednesday was dismissed at the High Court yesterday after the club paid their tax debts in full. The League One side have been saved from possible administration after the £9m takeover by Milan Mandaric.

The former Portsmouth and Leicester owner settled the club's outstanding £1.1m debt to Her Majesty's Revenue and Customs (HMRC). Catherine Addy, representing HMRC, told Mr Registrar Jaques that the debt had been paid in full and asked for the petition to be dismissed.

On Tuesday Mandaric vowed to take Wednesday back to the Premier League.
