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.

Colombian rider Miguel Angel Rubiano Chavez won the hilly sixth stage of the Giro d'Italia yesterday with a long breakaway, though Italy's Adriano Malori took the overall lead.

Rubiano Chavez was one of several who broke away 23km into the 210km and charged in front alone for the final 30km.

"At first I was just aiming for the mountain points, but then when I heard how far behind the group was I decided to take a risk and it went well," said Rubiano Chavez.
