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.

Your support makes all the difference.Newcastle winger Jonas Gutierrez has been given the all-clear in his fight with cancer.
The 31-year-old Newcastle winger (pictured running a marathon last month) revealed that he was undergoing chemotherapy following the diagnosis of testicular cancer in his native Argentina in September.
But he took to Twitter on Monday evening to announce, in Spanish: "Today I was given a medical discharge.
"Thank you very much to all who accompanied me at this time, especially my family, my parents, brothers, godmother, friends and @alemaglietti"
Gutierrez then retweeted congratulatory messages from followers, while Newcastle also tweeted their congratulations, posting: "Everyone at #NUFC is delighted to share the news that @elgalgojonas has been discharged from hospital in Argentina #UnitedWithJonas'."
Gutierrez joined Newcastle from Real Mallorca in July 2008 and became a fans' favourite when he played a starring role in helping the club win the Championship in his second season in the north-east.
However, he was largely unused by manager Alan Pardew last season and was allowed to join Norwich on loan for the second half of the campaign, where he made his last league appearance in the Canaries' 1-0 defeat to West Brom in April.
