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.

Warner, 36, who hit a career- best 94 in a lost cause on Friday, added only a single off his 104th delivery before the last man, Ole Mortensen, touched the 10th ball of the day from Martin McCague to the wicketkeeper, Steve Marsh. Derbyshire were all out for 229, leaving Kent the formality of making 24 to record their third victory in four matches.
Jason Gallian, the Oxford University captain, hit a fine 81 to help his side avoid the follow-on against Worcestershire at New Road. When he was sixth out at 152, Oxford still faced an uphill battle to reach their target of 202, but the seventh-wicket pair of Robert Yeabsley and Chinmay Gupte added 71 in 27 overs. They declared 122 in arrears at 229 for 8.
