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.

Watch as Donald Trump delivers remarks on the economy during a visit to Pennsylvania on Monday 19 August.

The Republican presidential candidate will be speaking after he caused controversy by posting a fake social media image of pop superstar Taylor Swift asking people to vote for him in the November election.

A Sunday entry on Truth Social showed Swift dressed in red, white and blue with a caption that said “Taylor Swift Wants You To Vote For Donald Trump.”

“I accept!” Trump wrote.

Swift has not publicly endorsed a candidate in the 2024 race but has supported Democrats in the past.

The singer backed Joe Biden and running mate Kamala Harris in 2020 and also criticised Trump in a 2020 documentary.

Ms Harris is set to be formally nominated as the 2024 Democratic candidate at the party’s national convention in Chicago this week.
