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.

Stuart MacGill returned his first five-wicket haul of the season as his leg-spin proved too good for the Durham middle order to put Nottinghamshire on top after the first day at Trent Bridge.
The Australian overseas player claimed 6 for 81, including three wickets in eight balls after tea, as Durham collapsed from 157 for 1 to finish on 300 all out. Nottinghamshire then reached 6 for 1 by the close, with Darren Bicknell leg before to Mark Davies for nought.
The morning belonged to the visitors with their captain, Jon Lewis justifying his decision to bat after winning the toss by scoring 77 and putting on a stand of 110 for the second wicket with Gordon Muchall.
Paul Collingwood reached 31 with confident drives and cuts but MacGill produced a classic leg-break to collect the edge which went to Kevin Pietersen at slip. MacGill went on to record his best figures for the county since August 2002.
