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.

Liverpool
The 21-year-old midfielder cost Liverpool pounds 1.5m from Crewe in July 1997 and figured in 17 matches last season, winning two England under- 21 caps for good measure. Since then, however, he has joined the long list of forgotten men at Anfield, hidden away in the reserves. Has made only one start this season and last appeared as a Uefa Cup substitute in December.

The 21-year-old Bridlington-born player, whom the Second Division side value at pounds 1m-plus, is in the squad for England's under-21 match with France at Derby tomorrow.
Crocked striker Pierluigi Casiraghi, would-be star of Chelsea, can only dream of lighting up the Bridge again. Just as well he is leading a double life as Nick Berry, ex-EastEnder and current Heartbeat star.
