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.

Tiger Woods flew into Europe yesterday and quickly made it clear how important he regards this week's Open at Royal Troon, writes Andy Farrell.

Woods, the 5-1 favourite for the tournament which starts on Thursday, said: "I'm looking forward to the week. The British Open is the best tournament of them all. I don't care about the pressure on me. I have my own expectations about how I will do."

Woods was in Valderrama where he and several other members of the US team were inspecting the course on which September's Ryder Cup match will be played. After completing his round Woods immediately retired to bed saying he did not feel well.
