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.

Tim Henman has been handed a daunting draw for next week's US Open, being paired with favourite Andy Roddick in the first round. The British No 1 missed out on being seeded by just one place. Greg Rusedski, also unseeded, facesFrance's Gregory Carraz.

In the women's singles, top seed Kim Clijsters begins her quest for a first Grand Slam title against the American Amber Liu, while her fellow Belgian and second seed, Justine Henin-Hardenne, faces a qualifier.

Fourth seed Venus Williams is also up against a qualifier, while No 3 seed Lindsay Davenport has a tougher task against another Belgian, Els Callens.
