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.

It's also a big night for Louis van Gaal.The Dutchman is under pressure and knows he has to deliver a piece of silverware - or a top four finish - this season.
The 64-year-old is well aware a trip to the Boleyn Ground represents the last chance saloon....
"It is our last chance of a trophy so it is very important for the players, for the club, for the manager and for the fans. Still, we have one day less than West Ham [to prepare] and that is also important," he told the club's official website.
"But we have proved against Arsenal and Manchester City, in spite of having less days to recover, that we could beat them so I hope that we shall recover very well.
"Also mentally, because this is a blow [at White Hart Lane] of course, but everybody knows this is the last chance."

Two changes from Slaven Bilic. Darren Randolph and Enner Valencia come in for Adrian and Winston Reid.Andy Carroll, as expected, leads the line. It's going to be a 'long' night for the United defence if his form against Arsenal is anything to go by.
Meanwhile, Wayne Rooney is fit enough to feature on United's bench.
The skipper's return will come as a boost but it will be up to Marcus Rashford to lead the line from the off.
(Ashley Young is also on the bench after a surprise appearance up top against Spurs at the weekend).
Wayne Rooney is on the bench, returning to the senior matchday squad for the first time since facing Sunderland two months ago today. #mufc
