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.

Your support makes all the difference.Chinese clothing retailer Trinity Limited said Wednesday it has agreed to buy the Cerruti luxury fashion and perfume brand for a maximum of 53 million euros (70 million dollars).
Trinity Limited said its purchase of Cerruti Holdings "fits in with the Group's strategy to own intellectual property rights or take on very long term licenses in high-end to luxury menswear brands with heritage."
Cerruti has been owned since 2006 by MatlinPatterson, a firm which specialises in turning around loss-making companies.
Hong Kong-listed Trinity Limited manages six high-to-luxury end international menswear brands, including Cerruti 1881, but mostly under long-term licenses.
It is a division of the Li & Fung Group, which generated 16 billion dollars in revenue last year.
Trinity Limited said in a statement that planned to exploit its operating and 381 store network in China to help turn around Cerruti.
It added that Cerruti's flagship Paris store would remain a critical element of building the brand's image.
