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.

Olazabal trailing by one shot

Jose Maria Olazabal, who says he will turn down a wild-card invitation to play in next month's Ryder Cup match, was only one stroke behind the leader, Jim Gallagher Jnr, at the halfway stage of his defence of the NEC World Series of at Akron, Ohio. The Spaniard, who has a foot injury, added a level-par 70 to his opening 68. Nick Faldo, already confirmed as one of the European captain Bernard Gallacher's two wild cards for Oak Hill, was four shots behind Olazabal after a second successive 71. Sweden's Liselotte Neumann had a six-under-par 66 to take a three-stroke lead after two rounds of the du Maurier Classic in Montreal. Laura Davies, the world No 1, is 16 shots behind Neumann on 153.
