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.

Ranger Oil has agreed to merge with Elan Energy in a deal worth C$566m (pounds 258m). Ranger will pay Elan shareholders C$10.55 per share or .79026 of a Ranger share. The merged group will be one of the 10 largest independent public Canadian oil companies, with a portfolio of natural gas, light oil and heavy oil production. The bigger group hopes it will have more financial clout to develop heavy oil deposits, which are vulnerable to the cyclical nature of heavy oil prices.
