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.

BRITAIN'S hopes of a medal in modern pentathlon appeared distant last night after a disappointing second day of competition. The British team of Richard Phelps, Graham Brookhouse and Dominic Mahony, bronze medallists in Seoul, had dropped to 11th place overall after yesterday's swimming and shooting disciplines.

Phelps, Britain's best chance of solo honours, also lies in 11th place in the individual standings. The competition features running today and concludes with the riding discipline tomorrow.
