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.

Charles Green, the Rangers chief executive, believes the club should try to quit Scottish football if league reconstruction plans go ahead.

The Scottish Premier League and Football League have agreed in principle to a restructuring plan that would see the organisations merge in a 12-12-18 structure.

If the new format was in place for next season, Third Division leaders Rangers would remain in the bottom tier regardless of if they won the title. Green said: "My advice to the board is the quicker we can leave Scottish football the better."
