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.

When will Amazon Black Friday deals start in 2024?
Black Friday is a fairly consistent holiday, and Amazon is a big participant every year. The sale begins on the Friday following Thanksgiving in the US (which falls on the final Thursday of November).
Over the years, the shopping event has expanded to last longer than just one day. Usually running until the following Monday, also known as Cyber Monday, which is another great day to score some online deals, especially on Amazon who tend to ramp up their deals on the Monday.
For 2024, Black Friday will begin on 29 November and continue until 2 December.

What Amazon deals can we expect this Black Friday?
While it’s too soon to predict exactly what Amazon will have in store for us this year, we can make an educated guess, based on deals from previous years.
Expect massive discounts on all your tech essentials and big-name brands such as Apple. Last year, the ever-stylish and hi-tech Apple Watch ultra (£699, Amazon.co.uk) was discounted by £100. Elsewhere, the Apple AirPods 2nd gen were reduced to less than £100.
Some of our very favourite beauty buys were also included in the sale last year, with deals on brands such as Shark, Marc Jacobs, Olaplex, Maybelline and more.
Meanwhile, home appliances often have some of the biggest (and most useful) deals. For example, one of our favourite air fryers from Philips, the 5000 series XL (was £179.99, now £99.99, Amazon.co.uk) was on sale with a whopping 56 per cent off last year.
What are the best deals to shop right now?
There is no need to wait until Black Friday if you’re keen to bag some bargains, as we’ve done some digging and have rounded up some amazing Amazon savings on vacuum cleaners, tech and Amazon devices that you can enjoy today.
