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.

Britain's women's world No 1, Laura Davies, and the American Mark McCumber fired a second-round seven-under-par 65 to take a one-shot lead in the JCPenney Mixed-Team Classic in Tarpon Springs, Florida yesterday. "I've got an aggressive mind-set," said McCumber after a round that was played on a modified alternate stroke-play format. "We're both on the same wavelength. If two players have conflicting styles it can cause some uneasiness. But I just giggle when she pulls out the driver. I think it's neat." Davies and McCumber are 16 under for the two rounds at the Innisbrook Resort Copperhead Course, one stroke in front of Val Skinner and Jay Delsing, who had a 67. Five teams were tied for third, another stroke back. Of that group, Carin Hjalmarsson and Doug Martin had the best round - a 64 - while Vicki Goetze and Steve Stricker and Barb Thomas and Steve Jones had 65s. The winning team will share just over pounds 212,000
