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.

Chasing 295 to win at Derby, the hosts resumed on 168 for 2 but lost overnight pair Usman Khawaja (56) and Wes Durston (55) as they slid from 197 for 2 to 215 for 6.
Charlie Shreck (above), who took 5 for 41 in the first innings, claimed another four wickets but Dan Redfern's 50 not out saw Derbyshire reach their winning target. Shreck's 4 for 99 gave him with match figures of 9 for 140.
Kent's defeat left them third in the table, five points behind second-placed Yorkshire.
