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.

McLaren last night denied stories emanating from BBC F1 chief analyst Eddie Jordan that Lewis Hamilton has signed a deal to drive for the Mercedes F1 team from next season.

According to Jordan, Hamilton and Mercedes have already agreed personal terms and a deal – reported to be worth £60m over three years – could be imminent. However, a McLaren spokesman said yesterday: "We have been told by Lewis Hamilton's management team that the story is untrue." Hamilton's contract with McLaren runs out at the end of this season.
