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.

Matthew Hoggard's hat-trick was the highlight for the visitors at Hove: the former England man had Andrew Hodd caught behind then sent Dwayne Smith's off-stump flying out of the ground and finally had Piyush Chawla caught at second slip. David Wainwright took 4 for 12, meanwhile, as Sussex slumped to 83 all out.
The South Coast side, 15 points behind Lancashire, will have to beat Nottinghamshire at Trent Bridge in their final match, starting on Wednesday, and hope for other results to go their way. That seems unlikely, and a season that has seen Sussex claim the Twenty20 Cup could end in bitter disappointment.
