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.

Tempers may be further frayed with the unsurprising news that temperatures will rise - once workers are installed behind their desks again tomorrow. Clive Burlton, a national forecaster at the Met Office, said temperatures were unlikely to rise above 20C in most parts of the country. "It is going to be a fairly breezy day and feel rather cool in many districts. The best of the weather may be on the South coast."
Showers are likely on the east coast but forecasters expect rain in the West to clear by midday. "It is the usual story that frustrates people: the weather getting better just when people get back to work," he said.
Network Rail said there are also major disruption to the West Coast mainline.
