Your support helps us to tell the story
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.

President Barack Obama, who visited the devastated town at the weekend to console those who had lost loved ones and property, promised that the government would be behind them "every step of the way" during efforts to rebuild.
The tornado was the strongest the US had seen for almost two years. It cut a path of destruction 17 miles (27 km) long and 1.3 (2 km) miles wide.
