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 book by science author Brian Clegg, How Many Moons Does The Earth Have?, is being described as the "pub quiz bible" for anyone enthusiastic or curious about science.
Clegg studied physics at Cambridge University and specialises in "making the strangest aspects of the universe – from infinity to time travel and quantum theory – accessible to the general reader".
His previous books include Science for Life, Light Years, Inflight Science, Build Your Own Time Machine, and The Quantum Age.
Using questions from the book we've put together a quiz so you can test your own knowledge of science:
