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.

The 22-year-old was the most potent attacking threat the Swiss possessed against Argentina and had Ottmar Hitzfeld sent out a slightly more attacking team against a defensively vulnerable Argentina, he might have been the star man.
Standing just 5ft 6in, the Yugoslavian-born playmaker is a threat with both feet and possesses a low centre of gravity that allows him to slink around defenders.
Lionel Messi is the world's best with the ball at his feet, attacking defenders, but Shaqiri is not far behind. His nickname of the 'Alpine Messi' is a fair one - the Switzerland No 23 is able to beat his man going left and right, and also has electric pace to go past his marker.
Against Argentina he was the player who created attacks almost single-handedly as Hitzfeld decided to send his Swiss team out to contain a superior Argentina team.
It was Shaqiri's pass that sent Josip Drmic free in the first half, but the Bayer Leverkusen striker couldn't finish.
With Luis Suarez looking increasingly like he will not be at Liverpool next season, Brendan Rodgers could see Shaqiri as an ideal replacement.
Alexis Sanchez remains his top target, but the Bayern Munich midfielder is also on his transfer list.
Shaqiri's goal record is perhaps not as good as it could be - though he does mainly operate on the wing - but Shaqiri could be available for less money than Sanchez.
Under Pep Guardiola Shaqiri last season, Shaqiri barely got a look in for the German champions. He started just 14 games, completing 90 minutes in only four of those, making a further 13 appearances from the bench.
Despite his limited playing time, Shaqiri scored seven goals and added four assists.
