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 Football Association has given Chelsea’s assistant manager Rui Faria a six-match stadium ban for misconduct on the touchline.

During Chelsea’s loss to Sunderland 13 days ago, the FA said Faria used “abuse and/or insulting words” towards the fourth official.

The Portuguese also admitted to improper conduct over his behaviour when ordered by the referee to leave the technical area. The FA’s independent regulatory commission fined Faria £30,000 and warned him about his future conduct.
