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.

It’s champagne all round at Ubisoft this week as Assassin’s Creed 3 takes roost at the all formats chart summit. Confirmed as Ubisoft’s biggest ever launch title – selling almost double that of Assassin’s Creed II and outperforming the publisher’s previous best, last year’s Assassin’s Creed: Revelations by over 117,000 units) – it easily becomes the second biggest launch of the year so far behind EA’s FIFA 13.

Predictions for next week: Halo 4.
