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.

Samaras sent Celtic on their way to a fifth consecutive SPL victory with an overhead kick 16 minutes into a one-sided first half at Dens Park. Dundee made a game of it after the break and Colin Nish missed a great chance to equalise, but Hooper secured the points in the 71st minute when he lobbed Rab Douglas.
Celtic controlled the final stages as they extended their lead at the top of the table after second-placed Inverness were earlier held by St Mirren.
That result, plus Ross County's win at Hibernian, left Dundee nine points behind at the foot of the table. Inverness stay second after coming behind twice to draw 2-2 with St Mirren.
Third-placed Motherwell, meanwhile, defeated Aberdeen 4-1 with forwards Jamie Murphy and Henrik Ojamaa particularly impressive.
