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.

Your support makes all the difference.It is a little soon to nominate the signing of the new season but there is not much doubt, at least not here, about the one which would be filled with the sweetest promise.
Cesc Fabregas and Manchester United have all the potential of a dream ticket.
David Moyes knows that he inherits some formidable strength from his predecessor and old mentor Sir Alex Ferguson, and not the least of it is a superb capacity to produce optimum levels of performance when it matters most. This is a superb tribute to the ethos Ferguson created at Old Trafford all those years.
However, no one could claim that Moyes has been left a midfield to properly compete with those of Chelsea, Manchester City and, if Gareth Bale stays put, Tottenham. Michael Carrick is a player of much virtue and impressive consistency but Fabregas is of a different order. He left Arsenal with much unfinished business. How ironic, after his frustrations back home in Barcelona, if he should get it done for Manchester United.
