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.

We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Fancy taking a bath in a chocolate tub? Brushing your teeth over a chocolate sink? Even sitting upon a chocolate toilet while you do your business? Well, that treat could well be yours, for the princely sum of $133,000 (£79,919).
The strange choice of bathroom – which even comes with a chocolate bidet – is the monster-child of bathrooms.com and chocolatiers Choccywoccydoodah.
The businesses claim it was the abundance of online search terms for “suite” being mixed with “sweet” that caused them to put their heads together and come up with the interesting concept, listing it on Bathroomsweets.com.
But the sceptics among its potential buyers may raise an eyebrow at the story – and at the sheer volume of its calorie count. The bathroom itself is made up of 50 kg and contains 9.4 million calories, which counts as more than a decade’s worth of recommended calorie consumption.
Kept at room temperature, the chocolate suite would supposedly last for six months, but leaving the bathroom exposed to direct sunlight or placing any of its items near to a radiator is not advised, for obvious reasons.
Chocolate obsessives can also buy the pieces separately; the bidet is $11,700 (£7,030), the sink is $15,000 (£9,013), the toilet is $23,000 (£13,815) and the bathtub is $83,600 (£50,225).
