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.

Austria's Ulrike Maier did just enough to win the giant slalom at Santa Caterina Valfurva, Italy, thwarting Anita Wachter's attempt to win a third successive World Cup race in that discipline. Maier, third in Friday's giant slalom behind Wachter on the same Cevedale piste, won by only 0.28sec with Sweden's Pernilla Wiberg, the Olympic champion who ruptured her Achilles tendon in January, taking third place. 'My form is good and I intend to keep the ball rolling as we move towards the Olympics,' Maier said.
