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.

Lee Germon, the New Zealand captain, refused to start the three-day match against India's national champions Bombay yesterday, claiming the outfield was wet and dangerous. His opposite number, Sachin Tendulkar, agreed and the pair persuaded the umpires to delay the game, already held up because of heavy overnight rain, for a further hour. When play finally began in mid-afternoon, Mark Greatbatch's 87 not out helped the touring team to 157 for 3.
