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.

Jonah Lomu is to play in a training match in Wrexham next month. The 6ft 5in, 19st All Black will guest for the Welsh club in a friendly against the Swalec Cup holders, Swansea, at Bryn Estyn Road on 6 August, as a favour for Wrexham's new coach, Phil Kingsley Jones, the 20-year-old's manager for eight years.
Francois Pienaar and 12 other Springboks seeking a better deal from the Transvaal management yesterday missed the deadline to show up for training or be dropped.
TRFU manager Johan Prinsloo said the rebels would no longer be considered Transvaal players. "They are demanding a package adding up to a season's outlay of over 14m rand (pounds 2.4m)," he said. "We cannot afford that kind of money."
