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.

Andy Murray continued his dominance over Roger Federer yesterday, beating the 13-time Grand Slam title winner 4-6, 6-2, 7-6 in the semi-finals of the Capitala World Tennis Championship in Abu Dhabi.

The Scot, ranked fourth in the world, recorded his fifth career win over the former world No 1 after having lost to him in the US Open final last year. Murray will play top-ranked Rafael Nadal today in the final. The Spaniard defeated Nikolay Davydenko of Russia 6-2, 6-3.
