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.

No problems are expected at Haydock, which sees the reappearance of last year's Cheltenham Gold Cup third, Couldnt Be Better, in the Edward Hanmer Memorial Chase.
It is a similar story at Hereford, where the clerk of the course, John Williams, said: "We had a bare covering of snow but it went in 10 minutes." And at Kempton a course spokesman explained: "We had quite a bit of snow but nothing settled because it was raining."
Nevertheless, Charlie Brooks is taking no chances over a prep-race for his leading Hennessy Cognac Gold Cup hope Suny Bay, whom he has declared for both the Limber Hill Chase at Kempton and the Edward Hanmer at Haydock. Kempton is the preferred destination.
