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.

Rich kids fly only on private jets.
They travel to exclusive events like the Monaco Grand Prix.
They don't have to leave the country to enjoy a beach holiday, with places like Caribe a mere private jet ride away.
Driving a yacht is a perfectly ordinary activity.
To spend even more money, they'll hit the casinos in Las Vegas.
Rich kids travel to culture capitals like Rome.
When you're rich, you're not relaxing unless you're drinking Champagne in a hot tub.
This is what hanging out with your friends looks like.
When they get their nails done, they look like this.
Retail therapy isn't a trip to H&M.
They spend so much time at Chanel, they practically live there.
They own a lot of Louis Vuitton.
When you're rich, you don't need a mirror anymore.
That is, unless you're taking a selfie.
They have more jewellery than they could wear in a lifetime.
Like rich kids everywhere, they enjoy the occasional Starbucks.
Rich people are all over their phones ...
... and their pet wild animals.
Apparently, rich kids let baby jaguars play with their (hopefully not loaded) guns.
But their drink of choice is usually Champagne with a side of strawberries.
They're so rich even their pets can afford to wear jewellery.
When you're this rich, you don't even worry about safety when driving with a snake in tow.
Ferraris are your basic mode of everyday transportation.
The biggest decision they have to make is usually which car to drive that day.
