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.

Everyday Savings is the retailer's mainstream savings account, offered through its branches across the country and online.
Good points
The account is easy to open with just £1 and offers penalty-free withdrawals.
Bad points
The interest rate on the account has just fallen from 2.35 per cent to 1.35 per cent and M&S warned this week it will fall by another 1 per cent to a dreadful 0.35 per cent in April.
Conclusion
Savers are being taken for fools by M&S. When the rate falls in April no one should stick with such a paltry payout on their savings. But to be fair to M&S, most other savings institutions use similar shabby tricks to leave people in useless accounts. Whoever you're with, it's a timely reminder to check your rate and switch.
