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.

While British designer Alexander McQueen continues to inspire Polyvore users with his outlandish creations, there are five new brands that entered the top ten this week: Halston might have got a boost from the confirmation that Sex and the City's Sarah Jessica Parker will be consulting in the future and Givenchy's polarizing haute couture collection provided rich possibilities for the site's moodboards. Acne gained four spots, potentially through its announcement of a furniture line.
Kim Kardashian rocketed to the number one spot in celebrities as a new entry this week, probably due to the launch of her fragrance, which inspired ad-like creations on Polyvore. The rest of the list remained rather stable, with last week's top star Amy Adams, and models Jessica Stam, Natalia Vodianova, and Anja Rubik still ranking high. Gossip Girl's Taylor Momsen topped usual favorite Blake Lively this week, but Leighton Meester remains the most popular of the cast.
In trends, all things studded and vintage were high in demand, and Net-à-Porter gained popularity in websites, most probably due to its shopping trip giveaway.
