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.

Your support makes all the difference.Middlesbrough have signed Stoke striker Dave Kitson on a two-month loan.
The 29-year-old has netted just two goals in 25 Barclays Premier League games for the Potters since a £5.5m move from Reading - where he returned on loan last season - in the summer of 2008.
He is the second striker to join on loan since the arrival of manager Gordon Strachan following the capture of Marcus Bent from Birmingham.
Strachan told the club's official website: "I'm delighted Dave is coming in to bolster the squad's numbers and give us more options.
"I've been a fan of Dave's for a few years now. He is a good striker and another player for us to call on."
Kitson, who could make his debut in the home Championship clash with Nottingham Forest on Saturday, said: "I'm happy to be here and excited to be part of it. I'll do my best and hopefully that will be enough to keep the club in the top positions."
