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.

The Football Association of Ireland is expected to name a new national team manager in succession to Jack Charlton at a press conference at Lansdowne Road in Dublin this afternoon.

It is widely anticipated that Mick McCarthy, the Millwall manager, will be appointed, following the recent withdrawal of Wimbledon's Joe Kinnear, the other principal contender.

McCarthy, who won 57 caps for the Republic, has been the favourite for the post since Charlton stepped down in December.
