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.

We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Almost £650 million is expected to be spent online across the UK today as shoppers flood websites offering Cyber Monday deals.

So, where are the best bargains to be found?
Everything
Some of the biggest websites are offering discounts ranging up to 60 per cent on thousands of items. Many are being carried over from Black Friday and only last as long as the stock so today will be the last chance to snap up the best bargains.
