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.

Sergio Perez was today given a flavour of the enormity of the task that faces him with McLaren when he addressed all 550 members of the workforce.

On a visit to the McLaren Technology Centre in Woking for his first round of media engagements, the 22-year-old Mexican, who replaced Lewis Hamilton, said: "It's certainly not hit me yet, to realise I am driving for the best team in the world."
