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.

Prost-Honda have announced Italian driver Jarno Trulli is to replace Olivier Panis, who broke both legs in a crash during the Canadian Grand Prix. The 22-year-old Minardi driver will make his debut with the team in the French Grand Prix at Magny-Cours on Sunday. Minardi said Trulli's place with them would be taken by Brazilian test driver Tarso Marques.

Britain's Mark Blundell won his first Indycar race on Sunday after a thrilling battle with Gil de Ferran in the Budweiser GI Joe's 200 in Portland, Oregon. Blundell's 18 Motorola PacWest Mercedes-Benz passed De Ferran's Reynard Honda on the final straight to win by 27-thousandths of a second, making it the closest race in Indycar history.
