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.

Rangers and Scotland striker Steven Naismith has been ruled out for the rest of the season after sustaining a cruciate ligament injury in his right knee against Aberdeen on Saturday.

"He will, sadly, miss the rest of the season," Rangers said yesterday. "Steven will be seen by the same surgeon who successfully treated him in 2008 and his rehabilitation programme will be eight to nine months."

Naismith is the top scorer in the Scottish Premier League this season with nine goals, his strikes helping the Glasgow club open up a nine-point lead at the top after only 13 games.
