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.

Adam Dale, the Australianmedium-pacer, insists that he will be fit to play in next month's World Cup. Dale arrived home in Brisbane from the Caribbean yesterday after pneumonia forced him out of the one-day series against the West Indies.
The Queensland seamer's presence in English conditions is considered vital to Australia's hopes of regaining the World Cup, with Dale's nagging style providing the foil for Glenn McGrath.
"It's getting better and over the last week there's been a lot of improvement so I'm definitely on the mend," he said.
