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.

I've been living in four bias cut dresses that I made up out of scraps in the studio. My cashmere cardigans still fit me just about, I've got bags of them - I'm a bit of cardi queen. After every collection I get them made for me in every colourway
The only thing I can still wear from my original wardrobe is my red Comme des Garcons dress - I love it, it's virtually the only coloured piece I wear now. I've discovered that black really is a slimming colour, so now most of my clothes are black and long.
The collection we've just finished for Autumn-Winter ended up with quite a few long black things in it, which is very "un-us". I generally find the tighter the clothes the better - I can't bear the thought of looking like a tent. Everything has to be really practical too, which means all my fab Manolo Blahnik shoes are out. Our manufacturer is making me some cashmere baby clothes that I'm really excited about - we're going to have little matching outfits. It sounds really naff, but I can't wait."
