Your support helps us to tell the story
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.

And he'll be doing so every Thursday morning to try to boost his party's popularity. Good luck with that.
Besides the ire flung his way by callers, Clegg was asked whether he'd ever worn a onesie – the all-in-one babygro that's proved so inexplicably popular over the past two years that The Sun illustrated a story about the onesies' huge Christmas sales figures by making its business editor, Steve Hawkes, wear one in its Wednesday edition.
Sadly for picture editors and Labour strategists, the Deputy Prime Minister has, sadly, left his green Incredible Hulk onesie – a gift from students in Sheffield – in his cupboard. Although, like recipients of ironic Christmas slankets everywhere, it's surely only a cold snap or two away from keeping Clegg cosy in his kitchen.
