Your support helps us to tell the story

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.

Sutton stays ahead

Mandy Sutton, who shot a fine 63 in the opening round, added a 68 for a seven-under-par 131 to keep the lead after the second round of the 54- hole Estoril Open in Portugal yesterday. Sutton, 33, from Worksop, who gave up a banking career to play golf six years ago, has won only pounds 7,045 in her first two years on the American Express Tour. But she will have a pounds 13,500 winner's jackpot in her sights when she starts out in the final round today one stroke clear of Denmark's Karina Orum. Lancashire's Lora Fairclough is one stroke further behind alongside Marie-Therese Pistolet from France.
