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.

London Monarchs will pick fourth in the World League of American Football draft later this month, with the Edinburgh-based Scottish Claymores picking fifth. Rhine Fire, who are based in Dsseldorf, won the lottery held in Barcelona and will have the No 1 pick in the draft, which will be held in Dallas on 20 and 21 February. The regular season begins on 8 April.

The Dallas Cowboy Michael Irvin becomes the highest-paid wide receiver in NFL history after signing a five-year, $15m (£9.9m) contract yesterday. His deal beats the four-year, $11m contract signed by Tim Brown of the Los Angeles Raiders.
