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.

Earlier, Durham were all out for 413, thanks to Gordon Muchall’s composed hundred, his first since last May, and a thumping 91 by Australian John Hastings.
Peter Trego led the way with 79 as Somerset lifted themselves off the foot of the First Division table with an unlikely two-wicket win over Nottinghamshire at Taunton.
The hosts reached a target of 401, their second-highest ever Championship run-chase, despite Matt Carter completing match figures 10 for 195 on his first-class debut.
