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.

Olympic champion Alistair Brownlee began his 2013 World Triathlon Series season with a comfortable win in San Diego.

Brownlee missed the campaign opener in Auckland but put in an impressive performance yesterday. He beat second-placed South African Richard Murray by 20 seconds, with Olympic silver medallist Javier Gomez finishing back in eighth.

"It's good to have had an injury-free winter. I enjoyed that, it was great," Brownlee said after the race. "I've only done six weeks of training.

"I did Abu Dhabi six weeks ago and I pushed on since then. That's all I've done in terms of really meaningful work on the track."
