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.

HUNTING, the international services group, yesterday unveiled a 9 per cent rise in profits before exceptionals at the halfway stage, after a strong performance from defence contracts helped to offset a 19 per cent fall in profits at its oil businesses.
Pre-tax profits in the six months to June fell to pounds 19.2m (pounds 20.9m), due to a one-off pounds 3.6m charge from the sale of its Cargo Airlines. The sale completed Hunting's disposal of its aviation business, which has left it with pounds 50m earmarked for bolt-on acquisitions in the North American oil sector, according to the chairman, Richard Hunting.
