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.

Felipe Massa continued to show no ill effects from the life-threatening injuries he sustained last year with the Ferrari driver fastest in Formula One testing for the second straight day.

The Ferrari driver clocked a best lap of 1 minute, 11.722 seconds from 124 laps around Valencia's Cheste circuit to lead Sauber's Kamui Kobayashi by just over three-tenths of a second today.

Lewis Hamilton's first spin in his new McLaren left him third best with a lap of 1:12.256.

Renault's Robert Kubica and Nico Rosberg of Mercedes GP were next, with Williams driver Rubens Barrichello and Sebastien Buemi of Toro Rosso completing the field.
