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.

Each day, The Independent's tennis correspondent, Paul Newman, will be charting the progress of Great Britain's best hope at Wimbledon, Andy Murray.

The Scotsman became the first Briton to win at SW1 since Fred Perry 77 years previously when he beat Novak Djokovic in the 2013 final. The Serbian is now the reigning champion after his victory over Roger Federer last year.

Murray isn't usually joined by many Brits in the third round at SW19, but this year he has two others flying the Union Jack alongside him, with Heather Watson and James Ware progressing.

To find out the latest news from the Murray camp and his chances of progressing through to the final on July 12, watch the latest video from Paul Newman below:
