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.

The German coach turned his back from the touchline and looked at the crowd instead (watch video below).
Milner stepped up in the 62nd minute to score the winner.
Just like in Liverpool's 2-1 Europa League victory over Bordeuax last week, Klopp turned away from the goal when his side took a penalty. It was Milner who netted from the spot in that match too.

Klopp said after the game he was leased his side's momentum was not blown off course as his side ground out the 1-0 win over Swansea.
The German felt the football was affected by winds gusting up to 50mph but his side recorded their first Premier League home victory since he took over - and their first at Anfield since September 26 - thanks to James Milner's 62nd-minute penalty.
"The wind was crazy because it changed all the time. For both teams it was really difficult," said Klopp.
"In this time you cannot take this game and say 'This is how football should be'. Wind is the biggest enemy of football but we did okay.
"Players can usually play better passes but it is not easy.
"This wasn't our best performance but it was our best performance in a strong wind.
"It was good in many parts of the game. We played against an opponent who were very well organised.
"I think it was our best game in defensive organisation.
"We made the goal and defended really well. Simon Mignolet had not that much work. It was a big plus for the whole team.
"We were deserved winners. In this moment we have to fight in really difficult circumstances and that is what the boys did and everyone can be proud."
