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.

Rangers hope their "Ready for the Future" initiative will raise at least £5m, and the Rangers chairman, David Murray, says Walter Smith, the manager, will be handed "between £7m and £10m" to buy new players this summer.
Rangers can seal their seventh successive Scottish Premier Division championship before they play Hibernian at Ibrox tomorrow, should Celtic fail to take three points at Pittodrie.
Two games in four days could decide Aberdeen's future as a Premier Division side. The Dons - facing relegation for the first time in their 92-year history - play Celtic at home today and travel to Motherwell on Tuesday. They are four points adrift of second-bottom Dundee United, and five behind Partick Thistle.
Tommy Burns, the Celtic manager, who is likely to be without Peter Grant and Pierre van Hooijdonk, said: "It must be absolute torture for Roy [Aitken, the Aberdeen manager] right now. That said, that is something which accumulates over a season."
Elsewhere, the race for European places and Premier Division survival dominates the other three games. Motherwell go to Falkirk with their sights set on a return to Europe.
At Tynecastle, Hearts hope to beat Partick Thistle to arrest a run of four successive defeats which have seen them crash out of the Cup and plunge towards the relegation zone. Meanwhile, Dundee United search for their first win under Billy Kirkwood at home to Kilmarnock.
