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.

Stoke have emerged as the latest club to be showing signs of interest in West Ham midfielder Scott Parker.

Reports today suggest the ambitious Potters are lining up an £8m bid for the 29-year-old.

Parker has been in excellent form since his return from injury, and with West Ham struggling financially, they may be forced to listen to offers.

Stoke manager Tony Pulis has been promised funds for the January transfer window, but will face competition from Tottenham and Liverpool if he is to sign the former Charlton and Chelsea star.
