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 dating show returned in January with the second ever series filmed in South Africa with new presenter Maya Jama.
Ellie and Spencer arrived at the end of Tuesday’s episode (25 January). You can read more about Ellie here.
Spencer Wilks is a 24-year-old e-commerce business owner from Bournemouth.
Spencer describes himself as “loud, outgoing and chatty”, “loyal” and “loving”.
The Justin Bieber fan said that he is looking to get serious, telling viewers: “I’m just all round husband material. If you want a husband I’m your guy.”
“I want to go travelling, I want to see the world. I’m loyal, I’m loving, I’ll make you tea in the morning. I can’t cook very well, that’s unfortunate,” said Spencer.
He went on to say that he doesn’t have a particular “ick” when it comes to prospective girlfriends, but added that he hates when a woman acts “fake”.
“I don’t like picking one thing that would put me off someone,” Spencer explained. “But I would say, being fake – I really don’t like that, and it gets under my skin.”
Speaking about his claim to fame, Spencer revealed that his cousin was a professional MMA fighter who starred in the 2018 Netflix documentary titled The Game Changers, in which he travelled the world to learn about the best diets for professional athletes.
Spencer’s Instagram page is @spennywilks.
Fans, however, will have to wait until Spencer leaves the villa to see his social media.
Unlike previous years, when the islanders’ friends and family have manned their profiles, the winter 2023 contestants have been asked by ITV to make their accounts “dormant” for the duration of their time in the villa.
Love Island airs Sunday to Friday at 9pm on ITV2.
