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.

Game of Thrones has previously seen 80s versions, sitcom versions, and even a Bad Lip Reading reimagining as a mockumentary, but now comes a Xena-esque 1995 edition, complete with bad VHS taping.
The title sequence features very Lois & Clark: The New Adventures of Superman font and recalls such wholesome moments as Tyrion dodging a horse and Jon Snow holding up a direwolf.
It was created by YouTube's hunterlsanders and has drawn over 4 million views in 24 hours, though disappointingly the soundtrack is just Queen's I Want It All, when I was hoping for a Too Many Cooks-esque campy version of the theme tune.
It certainly makes for a softer version of the show, which Maisie Williams yesterday described as "Death, death, death, revenge, death, revenge, death, revenge" and Emilia Clarke said was basically "Blood, death, boobs."
