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.

Mario Balotelli, who famously unveiled that t-shirt after scoring for Manchester City against Manchester United in October 2011, sent out a celebratory tweet telling United to "shut up" after Sergio Aguero put the visitors 1-0 up at Old Trafford in the eighth minute.
The joy didn't last long, however, soon United stormed into a 2-1 lead before the break. They then won the match 4-2 after racing into a 4-1 lead with 17 minutes remaining.
The result put United four points clear of City in third place.
Balotelli now plays for Liverpool, but showed his delight that his former team were in the lead, which lasted just six minutes in the end.
Back in the win in 2011, Balotelli scored twice in the 6-1 triumph at Old Trafford. City went on to win the Premier League title at the end of the season.
