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.

American football:

London Monarchs put their poor start to the season behind them as they beat Rhein Fire 27-20 in their World League matchon Saturday. Kenny McEntyre picked off three interceptions and ran one back for a touchdown to seal a fine victory, the third interception coming with little more than two minutes left on the clock. Monarch quarter-back Preston Jones also enjoyed a fine game with a 14-of-21 for 152 yard passing performance after a miserable performance in last week's 37-3 thrashing by the Frankfurt Galaxy. Yesterday the Scottish Claymores beat Amsterdam Admirals 21-14 in front of a 13,070 crow at Murrayfield today to record their third successive victory.

WORLD LEAGUE: London Monarchs 27 Rhein Fire 20; .Scottish Claymores 21 Amsterdam Admirals 14.
