Your support helps us to tell the story

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.

A Florida judge has issued an injunction overturning a life ban against Austrian tennis player Horst Skoff for alleged violations of the ATP tour's drug-testing program, Skoff's lawyer said yesterday. The judge ruled that Skoff was likely to succeed in a pounds 6m lawsuit he filed against ATP Tour, Inc, which runs many pro events. Skoff sued the ATP last year after it banned him from tour events for life, alleging he had violated its drug testing programme by refusing to take to a test at a tournament in Ostend, Belgium in July.
