Your support helps us to tell the story
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.

The runs continued to flow as the sun continued to shine yesterday, but on a day made for flat-track bullies, the biggest bully of them all - Graeme Hick - scored only seven at Scarborough as Worcestershire set off in the wake of Yorkshire's 600 for 4 declared.
David Byas carried on to a career-best 213, facing 376 balls and hitting 27 fours, and Craig White chipped in with an unbeaten 107 as the pair added 207. The visitors trail by the small matter of 412, but have Tom Moody (63) and Tim Curtis (51) at the crease.
It is even worse for Hampshire who, at 148 for 3, are 514 behind Essex at Chelmsford. Essex's 662 for 7 declared is the highest first-class score this season. At Canterbury, Surrey have let the opposition off the hook in comparison. Their lead is 405 as Kent struggled to 154 for 4.
The Under-19 international at Worcester is a more even encounter. After dismissing South Africa for 311, England reached 324 for 7 thanks to 88 from Marcus Trescothick and 75 from Anthony McGrath.
