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.

Jack Rodwell will start the new season at Everton after his suitors declined to meet his asking price.

Manchester United, Manchester City and Chelsea had all been interested in the 20-year-old midfielder, but none will meet Everton's £15m requirement, lower than the £20m that was being asked last year.

Rodwell played for England in the European Under-21 Championship earlier this summer, but only made 14 league starts for Everton last campaign.
