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.Chelsea Clinton has hinted that she may run for political office in the US while refusing to rule out a challenge for the presidency.
The daughter of former President Bill Clinton and his wife Hillary, the current Secretary of State, indicated that her family may yet become the latest multi-generational force in Washington DC, following the Kennedy and Bush dynasties.
Asked if she wants to stand for the presidency, Ms Clinton told the BBC: "I honestly don't know… I certainly feel a strong call for public service."
She added: "Before my mum's campaign [to become the Democratic presidential nominee] in 2008 I would have said no - not as a result of any long deliberate thoughtful process but rather because people have been asking me that question for as long as I could remember."
Ms Clinton, 32, was speaking from the Nigerian capital Abuja, where she was helping her father's foundation launch an initiative to reduce the number of deaths among children and mothers due to diarrhoea and other preventable diseases.
