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.
Your support makes all the difference.The first of a series of live televised debates was broadcast last night and it saw both main party leaders go head-to-head with Jeremy Paxman, as the former Newsnight man grilled them on issues such as zero-hours contracts, the UK’s economy and immigration.
The two men also fielded questions from a live studio audience made up of an equal distribution of Tory and Labour voters and those still yet to decide on which box to tick when they go the ballots this May.
