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.

Fentimans Dandelion & Burdock 275ml, 99p, Waitrose
This garnet fizz has an extraordinarily spicy nose of liquorice, angostura and almond, with a spicy palate to match and a refreshing, if a little sweet, almondy fizz. Perhaps best with a shot of vodka - next month.
Posh fizzy pop
Duchy Original Lemon Refresher, 750ml, around £1.79, Booths, most supermarkets
The ripe Sicilian lemon aromas and fizzy, lemon-zest freshness make this a lipsmackingly effervescent drink with tart finish that makes it an especially good substitute for wine. A proper, grown-up fizzy softie.
Develop a crush
Fresh Fruit in a Bottle Pear & Apple 500ml, £2.49, Marks & Spencer
Fresh and juicy, this drink smells more of fresh pears than apples with a nice thick, almost viscous texture to it. A delicious pear-flavoured mouthful with the apple in the background for some crisp added bite.
