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.

We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Tom Hardy has sworn off romcoms after This Means War, noting how strange it is that a comedic work can be so "miserable" to make.
"I love to do things I hadn't done before," Hardy told USA Today in reference to the Chris Pine-co starring film.
"I didn't understand how you could do something which is so much fun and be so miserable doing it. I probably won't do a romantic comedy again, do you know what I mean?"
You can't really blame the guy for feeling, as he put it, "other", in the forgettable romcom, which centred around two spy friends vying over a woman (Reese Witherspoon).
His next movie, Mad Max: Fury Road, looks to have way more vision however. A reboot, yes, but a thrilling one if the first trailer for it is anything to go by.
