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.

The MotoGP world title contenders Jorge Lorenzo and Dani Pedrosa did not turn a wheel in anger in yesterday's two practice sessions ahead of the latest round of the championship in Misano, Italy.

With no intermediate tyres available in MotoGP, the circuit was not quite dry enough for slicks and not quite wet enough for full wets. For many riders, it was a case of too much risk for too little reward.

Winner of the last two grands prix in Indianapolis and Brno, Pedrosa has closed the gap at the top to 13 points to Lorenzo. With no Casey Stoner, still recovering from ankle surgery after a crash, the title fight is between the two Spaniards.
