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.

Martin Whitmarsh is adamant that no wedge has been driven between McLaren and Lewis Hamilton in the wake of his tweet gaffe on Sunday.

The McLaren team principal spoke with Hamilton ahead of the Belgian Grand Prix after he posted a picture on Twitter of sensitive telemetry data from qualifying. Hamilton removed the offending tweet. Whitmarsh confirmed he would not be taking any internal disciplinary action against Hamilton: "It was embarrassing for Lewis I think, and I'm sure he'll learn from that."
