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.

But, speaking at Ascot yesterday, Bradley said: "I have delayed it another month, because the horse I was going to ride doesn't run. It will be Wetherby - I have got to ride another winner.
"I am too old now and the old adrenalin rush has gone a little bit for the Plumptons, Fontwells, Sedgefields, and so on. I love riding at the Cheltenhams, Ascots, Newburys, but I'm 39 now and I can't ride forever - I have just got to move on to a different career."
Bradley, who runs his own bloodstock agency, was at Ascot to see Vicious Circle, whom he bought for the gelding's current owners, win the Ritz Club Handicap.
