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.

Next June, Simon & Schuster will publish “What This Comedian Said Will Shock You,” in which the outspoken host of HBO's “Real Time With Bill Maher” revisits some of his on-air commentary. According to the publisher's announcement Friday, Maher “reviewed more than a decade of his editorials, rewriting, reimagining, and updating them, and adding new material to speak exactly to the moment we’re in.”
Subjects range from free speech and drugs to religion and show business.
“We’re not investigative journalists — we don’t break stories, we break new ways of looking at stories," Maher said in a statement.
Maher's previous books include “The New New Rules” and the novel “True Story.”
