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.

It was a weekend of mixed fortunes for Slough: the women moved within one point of their fourth Premier championship title, while the men look odds-on favourites for the drop to the Second Division of the National League.
The women destroyed last year's champions, Leicester, with a fine 4- 1 win on Saturday, and they followed that with a 8-2 win at Chelmsford yesterday.
But the men are now firmly rooted at the bottom, having been beaten 4- 0 by Reading, who on Saturday exited the cup when they were beaten 5-3 at Cannock in extra time.
At the top of the men's National League, Teddington are three points clear of Guildford with a game in hand. They followed up their 6-2 win against Hull on Saturday with a 2-2 draw with Stourport yesterday. Guildford, who beat Hounslow on Saturday, came back after going two goals down to win an exciting game at Southgate 4-3.
Hounslow collected full points thanks to an outstanding run by the young England midfield player, Guy Fordham, who covered a good 40 yards to claim a last-second winner in a tough 3-2 win against Old Loughtonians.
