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.

Jurgen Klinsmann was named the new head coach of the United States yesterday.

The announcement comes a day after Bob Bradley was sacked following five years in charge.

The former Germany coach has lived primarily in the United States since retiring from playing, and has frequently been linked with the national team job and vacancies in Major League Soccer. His first match in charge is on 10 August against big rivals Mexico.
