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 RECORDS LARA BROKE
400 not out is the highest individual Test score, surpassing Matthew Hayden's 380 made for Australia against Zimbabwe in October 2003.
Lara is the first batsman to hit 400 in a Test innings.
Lara is the only player to have hit the highest Test score twice. He made 375 v England in 1994 to break Garfield Sobers' unbeaten 365 in 1958.
Lara is the second batsman to reach 300 twice after Sir Donald Bradman.
