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.

However, one aspect overlooked by many is their subtle references to classic cinema, something nearly every film produced by the studio does.
The allusions presented are often so subtle they are missed by most, but luckily one keen viewer has collected many of Pixar’s tributes and put them all in one video. Watch below.
What’s surprising is just how many horror films have made it into the family friendly stories, with The Birds, The Exorcist, Psycho and The Shining all cropping up.
There’s also a huge number of Star Wars nods, including the famous “I am your father” line and R2D2’s transition of Leia in A New Hope.
While many of Pixar’s outputs have become classic children’s films in themselves - including Toy Story, Monster’s Inc and Finding Nemo, their most recent effort, The Good Dinosaur, hasn’t received the same degree of critical acclaim.
