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.

Colin Edwards will miss the final MotoGP race of the season in Valencia as he awaits surgery on a broken arm.

The 37-year-old American was injured in the accident in which Marco Simoncelli was killed in Sepang on 23 October.

Edwards returned to Houston, Texas, for checks which showed multiple fractures to his left arm.

The American rider said: "I wanted to be in Valencia next week to give my support to MotoGP but it is not going to be possible."
