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.

Juve have an insurmountable 10-point lead over Parma, with two matches remaining, although the two clubs will meet again in next month's two- leg Italian Cup final. It was sweet revenge for the Turin side, beaten 2-1 on aggregate by Parma in midweek in the two-leg Uefa Cup final.
Roberto Baggio celebrated his first Serie A title by playing a key role in the first three goals. Baggio is currently negotiating an extension of his contract with the club, which expires in June. He has been offered a two-year extension, on condition he accepts a pounds 400,000 pay cut from his annual income of pounds 1.5m.
First he masterminded a counter-attack from deep in his own half for Fabrizio Ravanelli's 11th-minute opener. Then in the 38th minute, Baggio's neat back-heel set up Didier Deschamps. Midway through the second half, a superb through-ball laid on Gianluca Vialli's 16th goal of the season. Four minutes later, Ravanelli completed the humiliation with his second goal of the game.
Aron Winter's 81st-minute winner for Lazio dealt a blow to Sampdoria's Uefa Cup hopes. Lazio's win over the Genoa side moves them into joint third place with the European Cup finalists, Milan, whose owner, Silvio Berlusconi, is facing a court case. On Saturday, Milan prosecutors formally asked a judge to indict him on corruption charges.
Genoa's hopes of staying in Serie A were boosted by their 3-0 win over fellow strugglers Foggia, who now look certain to join Brescia and Reggiana in Serie B next season.
