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.

A breakthrough in the $8bn Time Warner-Turner Broadcasting merger talks may signal a deal as early as mid-week, sources in New York said. It is believed that John Malone, head of TCI, has agreed to swap his company's 21 per cent holding in Turner for an 8 per cent stake in the enlarged Time Warner. Ted Turner, the founder and controlling shareholder of Turner Broadcasting, would receive a 10 per cent stake. Mr Malone is believed to have been offered the right to take his holding even higher in the future.
