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.

The Australian Chris Sutton won stage two of the Tour of Spain yesterday in a bunch sprint, while Italy's Daniele Bennati took over as the race leader. Spain's Vicente Reynes finished second behind Team Sky's Sutton on the 174-km stage from La Nucia, with Germany's Marcel Kittel third.

Sixth place in the sprint for Bennati allowed the Italian to replace his Leopard Trek team- mate Jakob Fuglsang as race leader. Britain's Mark Cavendish – winner of the Green Jersey for best sprinter at this year's Tour de France – finished over a minute back. The Tour of Spain finishes on 11 September in Madrid.
