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.
Your support makes all the difference.With mercury plummetting and more ice, snow and strong winds forecast, it’s more important than ever to make sure you’re adequately dressed to face the arctic conditions we’ve been experiencing.
Not only will they keep you warm, but hats, scarves and gloves are a great way to accessorise your outerwear and update last season’s coat – and there are some awesome trends to tap into right now.
