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.

Your support makes all the difference.The opening credits to Game of Thrones might be stunning and grand. But they’re also a little antiquated.
In response, one Redditor has re-drawn the entire map of the fictional Westeros continent in Game of Thrones in the style of Google Maps.
The drawing features the all-important roads — you can follow the Starks’ journey from Winterfell to King’s Landing — as well as realistic topographical features and depictions of the sea.
A high-quality version of the map was available on Etsy, but seems to have been taken down. It’s not clear whether that was because demand was so high or for another reason.
Redditor Selvag uploaded the map to Reddit, saying that he had made 99 per cent of it in Adobe’s Illustrator drawing program and then touched it up in Photoshop. Selvag appears to be a graphic designer and has other items for sale on his Etsy store.
