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.

Darren Clarke
We thought there might be an Ulsterman at the top of the leaderboard, we just didn't expect it to be cuddly Clarkey .
Verdict: Dazzling display
World No's 1&2
Westwood and Donald
Our experts thought it was Lee or Luke's time but the best of British both had horrible days and their major drought goes on.
Verdict: Hopes gone West
Losing The Plot
Graeme McDowell
'I'm a bit of a mental case out there,' said the former US Open champ. This wasn't a recipe for success. He shot a 77.
Verdict: Not mad for it
Back On The Beers
Mark Calcavecchia
He sank pints then putts on day one, but fell off the wagon spectacularly with a 79 and is now drowning his sorrows.
Verdict: Last supper
Dark Horse
Martin Kaymer
The German won the USPGA last year and enjoyed a 69 yesterday which leaves him right in the mix this weekend.
Verdict: Major chance
Yank Watch
Phil Mickelson
'Lefty' has been hitting it left and right but rarely straight. However, at 50-1, he was too good a bet for some of us to ignore.
Verdict: You bet he can win
