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.

Trafalgar House is expected this week to announce first half losses far in excess of City expectations and possibly in excess of £30m. The losses for the six months to 31 March have been exacerbated by the fiasco over refitting work on the QE2 luxury liner. This is costing Trafalgar £7.5m in compensation payments to disgruntled passengers, as disclosed in Trafalgar's offer document for Northern Electric, published in January. The bid for the electricity company lapsed in March, and Trafalgar cannot renew its offer until allowed to do so by the Northern board.
