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.

How refreshing to read of the steadfastness shown by Major Duncan in standing up to shopkeepers and others ("Fiscal fortitude", 4 March), and his ways of dealing with their unjustified price increases. I thrilled to learn of someone with "the very embodiment of Empire values" and having "economic foresight" as well. Here, at last, was the hero I had been seeking for a long, long time. But how my excitement was short-lived. There it was in black and white, his old car, far from being an ancient Morris Minor or even an Allegro, was a Daihatsu. One minute a hero, the next a villain.
