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.

We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.It’s another good week for FIFA 13 as it takes a fourth consecutive week at the top of the all formats games chart, staving off competition from Activision Blizzard’s Skylanders Giants which makes an impressive entrance in the second slot confirming the brand’s popularity – its predecessor Skylanders: Spyro’s Adventure only making its debut at 16th last year, despite going on to enjoy consistently strong sales.
Elsewhere Bethesda should be well pleased with Dishonored continuing to sell well at third and Doom 3: BFG Edition charting in fifth position after its first weekend on sale; while 007 Legends leaves the top ten feeling neither shaken or stirred as it bows in at twelfth.
Predictions for next week: Microsoft’s Forza Horizon and Nintendo’s Professor Layton and the Miracle Mask.
