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.

ANDRE AGASSI will play in the Australian Open for the first time next year. The American, Wimbledon champion in 1992, missed this year's event with acute tonsilitis.

CHRIS WILKINSON, the defending champion, was yesterday knocked out of the first round of the Malaysian Nissan Challenger tournament in Kuala Lumpur. The world No 117 crumbled under pressure and lost

6-3 6-0 to David Mainkin, of South Africa. The top seed, Jeremy Bates, coasted through to the second round with a 6-4 6-3 victory over Leonardo Lavalle, of Mexico. He will meet Lars Rehmann, of Germany, in the second round.
