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.

Then the Morrisons “Volcanic Vindaloo” might be the takeaway game-changer you’ve been waiting for.
The supermarket chain's twist on the beloved Indian dish is so spicy; it even comes with a safety warning.
At just £1.50, it’s arguably the best spice for your buck and contains one of the world’s hottest chillies: the Naga Viper, with a rating of 1,382,118 on the Scolville scale (that’s 200 times hotter than a jalapeño).
Though eating the new curry might quite literally blow your ill-equipped, spice-less socks off (if you’ve seen Along Came Polly, multiply Ben Stiller by 100), Morrisons insist that you’ll still be able to taste every flavour of a traditional vindaloo.
“Curry fans have been telling us that they just don’t get the fiery heat they want from ordinary ready meal curries,” said Sean Gill, Morrisons’ resident ready meal expert.
“So we decided to take up their challenge and create the hottest ready meal in the country – something with the extreme heat you get when you order a vindaloo in your favourite restaurant.”
The special dish has been released to collide with National Curry Week, which started yesterday in case you missed it, and is a twist on the classic Goan dish, which is a curry house staple.
It typically contains a mixture of marinated pork, vinegar, ginger, sugar and of course, chillies.
Children under the age of 16 are advised not to even taste it it.
If you’re brave (or foolish) enough to try your hand at the nation’s spiciest curry, it’s available to purchase in Morrisons now.
