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.

STOKE 0 - 0 LEICESTER
Vardy has been shown a red card for a challenge on Diouf. This will be a huge loss for the away side - The Foxes are down to 10 for the remainder.
SUNDERLAND 0 - 0 WATFORD
The visitors make the most of a defensive lapse from Sunderland, but Zuniga is unable to convert as N'Dong sprints back to save the day for the home side.
STOKE 1 - 0 LEICESTER
GOAL
The home side win a penalty for a handball from Simpson following a Bojan cross.
Bojan looked nervous before he took the penalty, but he managed to maintained his composure and slot the ball past Schmeichel from the spot.
STOKE 2 - 0 LEICESTER
GOAL
Allen pounces on a parried save from Schmeichel to double his sides tally before the interval. It's a straight forward goal, that gives Ranieri's men a huge job to do in the second half.
SUNDERLAND 0 - 0 WATFORD
The visitors dominated possession prior to the interval and the second half has started in a very similar style. They are passing the ball and their work-rate is faultless. However, their efforts are unrewarded so far with the scores remaining level.
SUNDERLAND 1 - 0 WATFORD
GOAL
Against the run of play, it's Van Aanholt who has given the home side the one goal advantage.
The ball gets squared into the six yard box and the 26-year-old turns and pulls the trigger with a left-footed strike, in off the post.
STOKE 2 - 0 LEICESTER
A cross goes into the box towards Walters, who heads the ball from eight yards out, but Schmeichel leaps up and parries the ball away. It's an athletic save that denies Stoke's third.
MIDDLESBROUGH 3 - 0 SWANSEA
GOAL
Ramirez is on the right, he then puts the ball into the box towards De Roon who steers it past Fabianski. That's the third and Bradley's men really do have a job to do.
WEST HAM 0 - 0 HULL
Maguire gets up and heads the ball over the keeper, but Fernandez is there to save the ball off the line. For a 0-0 scoreline, there is no end to excitement in this fixture.
