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.

Mark Hateley's Tigers drew first blood through Matthew Hocking's 12th- minute strike but Lloyd Owusu equalised 14 minutes later and 13 minutes into the second half Warren Aspinall, now at his eighth club, put them ahead.
When Neil Whitworth levelled the scores again on Hull's behalf in the 63rd minute it looked as though the Londoners would have to be content with a point until Andy Scott grabbed the late winner.
The third division's other chairman who has shown a hands-on interest in management, Carlisle United's Michael Knighton, will not have enjoyed yesterday's result, a 2-1 defeat at Brisbane Road, where Leyton Orient had previously conceded seven goals and scored once in the two previous matches. Elsewhere in the Third Division, the previous leaders, Rotherham United, lost 3-0 to Southend United at Roots Hall.
The former Southend manager Barry Fry, now in charge of Peterborough United, will have been in good form last night after the Posh trounced Barnet, the club Fry took into the football league in 1991, 9-1 at Underhill.
The home side had Jonathan Ford sent off for violent conduct after only nine minutes and were reduced to nine men on the hour when Warren Goodhind was dismissed. By that time they were trailing 6-1, Giuliano Grazioli having scored four goals. He got one more before the final whistle.
In the second division, Luton Town kept up the pressure on the leaders by beating Burnley 1-0, while the Conference leaders, Rushden & Diamonds, made it seven wins out of seven with their 1-0 win at Yeovil.
