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.

Adam Kennedy equalled a post-season record by hitting three home runs as Anaheim Angels reached the World Series on Sunday night, closing out the Minnesota Twins 13-5 in Game Five of the American League Championship Series.

After Minnesota rallied for three runs in the top of the seventh to take a 5-3 lead, the Angels overwhelmed the Twins in the bottom of the inning.

In the World Series the Angels will play either St Louis Cardinals or San Francisco Giants, who won 4-3 on Sunday. San Francisco lead 3-1 in the best-of-seven National League Championship Series.
