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.

Mick McCarthy is expected to be named as the new manager of Ipswich Town this week.

The Championship club, who parted company with Paul Jewell last week, hope to finalise a deal with the former Sunderland and Wolverhampton Wanderers manager before Saturday's trip to Birmingham City.

The 53-year-old, who has also attracted interest from Crystal Palace, has been out of work since being sacked by Wolves in February and looks set to beat off competition from Owen Coyle and Alan Shearer for the role.

Town find themselves adrift at the foot of the table following a 12-match winless sequence and a club record run of 10 league games without a home victory which stretches back to March.
