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.

The new, very meta advert sees Pesci watching the original Google advert as it plays during the Super Bowl.
As Culkin appears on screen, Pesci laughs along with friends, saying at one point “I love this”.
Toward the end of the advert, the actor gets everyone to quieten down before his big line: “We better get out of here before somebody sees us.”
The advert, for Google‘s home assistant, features almost the entirety of the Christmas-released one – including Culkin bouncing on his bed, playing a scene from the fictional Angels with Filthy Souls, and eats a large bowl of ice cream while sitting in front of the television.
Pesci – who is also well known for his roles in My Cousin Vinny, the Lethal Weapon films and Goodfellas – will next appear on the Martin Scorsese-directed The Irishman.
