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.

Spain's Jon Izaguirre took a solo victory in Stage 16 of the Giro d'Italia yesterday. Another Spaniard, Joaquim Rodriguez, retained the overall lead.

Izaguirre attacked from a day-long break of 10 riders on a steep climb near the finish, to take the win on a 173km (108 mile) stage from Limone sul Garda to Falzes. Italy's Alessandro De Marchi was second and the Dutchman Stef Clement took third.
