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.

Seven-times world champion Stephen Hendry compiled his second maximum 147 break at the world championship during his quarter-final against Shaun Murphy today.

Briton Hendry, 40, notched up his first 147 in 1995 and became only the second player to achieve the feat twice at Sheffield's Crucible Theatre after Ronnie O'Sullivan.

Hendry will collect £157,000 if no other player makes a maximum before the tournament ends on 4 May.
