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.

The Scotland forward Steven Naismith could miss next month's World Cup qualifiers against Wales and Belgium after Fifa opened disciplinary proceedings over an off-the-ball incident during the goalless draw with Serbia.

Everton's Naismith faces a three-match ban over an alleged elbow on Serbia's Srdan Mijailovic.

Television pictures show him raising his arm towards Mijailovic in the World Cup qualifier at Hampden earlier this month.
