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.

This bottle makes a great first impression. The artistic label and wax-dipped cork make it perfect for displaying at your next dinner party. The chenin blanc hails from South Africa, where the producers, Angus Paul, believe in minimal intervention when it comes to their winemaking, letting the landscape do the work.
The ancient vines grow through rocky granite soil and are pushed along by the Cape South Easter winds. Perfect Cellar assures us it’s this start in life that makes the vino “not merely a wine but a vivid, mouthwatering revelation, brimming with vitality and charm”. Sign us up.
The texture and flavour profile of this chenin blanc is said to be particularly tight, holding moorish acidity. Touted as being packed with notes of white stone fruits and golden apples, this wine should make for a great accompaniment for salads and fish, or you can enjoy a glass on its own. By the sounds of it, it’ll transport you to summery days.
If all that wasn’t enough to tempt you, this bottle currently has 25 per cent off from Thursday (15 February) to Monday (19 February). Cheers!
