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.

Ian Woosnam sweated his way to a five-under-par 67 in the first round of the Alfred Dunhill Masters in Jakarta, Indonesia, yesterday.
The Welshman overcame temperatures of over 100F to fire five birdies and no bogeys on the magnificent Arnold Palmer- designed course at the Emeralda and Country Club. He is one stroke off the lead, held jointly by Australians Craig Parry and Paul Gow, along with Sweden's Mathias Gronberg.
Woosnam, who only decided to enter the event a few weeks ago, said: "It's my punishment for playing badly all year. I haven't won a tournament for a while and I want desperately to win one before the end of the year, but in these conditions it is very hard to keep your concentration and score together."
Mark Mouland, who teams up with Woosnam for Wales in next week's Heineken World Cup in China, shot a two-under-par 70.
n Britain's Richard Boxall shot a first-round 72 to be six shots off the pace, set by Seiki Okuda of Japan, in the Daiwa International in Sudama, Japan.
