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.

A museum opens in Stockholm on Tuesday to show off the paraphernalia the Swedish band accumulated during the height of their fame in the 1970s. Among the items is a helicopter featured on the cover of their Arrival album, a star-shaped guitar and loads of glitzy costumes – with a few exceptions.
Band member Bjorn Ulveaus said certain items were “forever lost”, like the “embarrassing” costumes he wore when he was “slightly overweight”. Visitors can try on the costumes, record music videos and sing hits such as “Dancing Queen” and “Mamma Mia” in a studio.
