Your support helps us to tell the story
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.

Defending champions Rangers hit back to earn a 1-1 draw with Celtic on Monday to stay four points ahead of the "auld" rival in the Scottish Premier League.
Mark Viduka fired Celtic ahead after 18 minutes before 60,000 fans at Celtic Park and, although he also hit the post and Slovak teammate Lubomir Moravcik twice hit the Rangers crossbar, the visitor gained a point thanks to a 28th minute leveller by Billy Dodds.
The result means that Rangers have 44 points from 17 games and Celtic has reached its halfway point in the season with 40 from 18 after its first tie of the season.
Even though there were 14 different nationalities on the field and only four Scottish-born players, the Old Firm derby game was as committed as ever with referee Hugh Dallas handing out five yellow cards.
But at least the experienced World Cup official didn't suffer the same fate as the last time he refereed a Celtic-Rangers game at Celtic Park when he was felled and bloodied by a coin thrown by a fan.
