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.

EU pitfall for Blair
Sir: The case for a referendum on the euro before the next election is even more compelling than your leader (1 March) indicates, as otherwise the election itself will become the referendum.
There are not many other issues of significance dividing the parties and this is one on which the Conservatives have a clear position and which is popular with the public.
At the next election this disappointing government will no longer be able to count on the support of traditional Labour voters like myself and many floating voters will return to their default mode of voting Tory. Thus, without a clear lead in favour of membership of EMU and an early referendum to settle the issue, Tony Blair will become yet another prime minister to fall over the indecisive and ambivalent attitudes of the British to the European Union.
