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.

Britain's Jonny Brownlee won his second straight World Triathlon Series race in Madrid yesterday.

The 22-year-old benefited from a significant breakaway on the bike and cruised through the run on the Casa de Campo park course to build on his victory in San Diego two weeks ago.

There was disappointment for Tim Don, who was hoping to clinch Britain's last Olympic spot but needed to finish on the podium. He was left behind on the swim and eventually dropped out during the run.
