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.

Stay tuned for all of the live action and goals from these games...
WEST HAM 0 - 0 HULL
It's a nervous start from The Hammers, with Antonio miskicking the ball and giving away possession.
STOKE 0 - 0 LEICESTER
It's all Stoke so far, with Bojan beating two defenders and sending the ball through to Allen who cuts it back to Walters but Schmeichel manages to just save the strike with his trailing boot.
MIDDLESBROUGH 0 - 0 SWANSEA
Viktor Fischer has gone to ground and it does not look like good news for the home side. However, Karanka's men have started well and are maintaining possession well.
SUNDERLAND 0 - 0 WATFORD
Deeney has wasted an opportunity after beating the offside trap - all he had to do was pull it back into the box but his pass was sloppy and Sunderland regain possession.
MIDDLESBROUGH 1 - 0 SWANSEA
GOAL
The deadlock has been broken at the Riverside. The ball goes into the box and Negredo manages to bury it into the back of the net with a left footed strike. It's a tremendous strike that shows impeccable striking ability from the 31-year-old.
WEST HAM 0 - 0 HULL
Randolph dives to his left to deny Maguire's headed attempt from the corner. It's an exceptional save from the 29-year-old keeper.
MIDDLESBROUGH 2 - 0 SWANSEA
GOAL
Foreshaw comes inside and gets taken down inside of the box - there's no question about it, that's a penalty.
Negredo steps up to the spot to double his tally. It's a composed strike that sends the keeper the wrong way. Swansea have got a mountain to climb.
