Your support helps us to tell the story

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.

The United States have reached the quarter-finals of the World Cup after a 2-0 defeat of Mexico.

Brian McBride put the US ahead after just eight minutes as the Americans took control against a disappointing Mexican side in the early stages. Landon Donovan made the game safe after 65 minutes when he headed home an Eddie Lewis cross.

A frustrated Mexican team lost their composure towards the end of the game and saw captain Rafael Marquez sent off for a bad challenge.
