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.

Paul Gascoigne sat through 76 minutes of the Rome derby yesterday before coming on as a substitute, by which time his Lazio team-mates had already established a winning 2-0 lead.
A first-half goal from Pierluigi Casiraghi and a penalty after the interval from Giuseppe Signori consigned Roma to defeat, and four minutes after Gascoigne's arrival the Roma captain, Giuseppe Giannini, ignored Pope John Paul II's pre-match appeal for sportsmanlike behaviour by earning a red card. There was trouble after the match: two policemen suffered stab wounds as fans clashed outside the Olympic stadium.
Juventus's pursuit of their first title since 1986 suffered a rare setback with a shock 1-0 defeat at home to struggling Padova. The Dutch striker, Michel Kreek, scored the game's only goal in the 77th minute with a stunning free-kick.
Juventus's fifth defeat of the season allowed second-placed Parma to keep their fading championship hopes alive with a 3-0 victory over in- form Internazionale.
Sampdoria, beaten in the Cup-Winners' Cup semi-final by Arsenal after leading 3-1, again let a two-goal advantage slip in a 2-2 draw against Fiorentina. Ruud Gullit scored twice for Sampdoria but Gabriel Batistuta - with his 22nd of the season - and Francesco Baiano struck back. Milan completed a good week by thrashing Torino 5-1 last night in Bologna.
