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.

With a dozen possible runners in the Racing Post Trophy at Doncaster on Saturday, trainer Aidan O'Brien has fifty per cent more entries in the Group One race than all of the British stables put together.
Having won the race with Saratoga Springs in 1997 and with Aristotle in 1999 - when he also sent out the runner-up and fifth-placed horses, in a field of nine - O'Brien can this time choose between Beckett, Black Minnaloushe, Bonnard, Cashel Palace, Darwin, Freud, Hemingway, Honours List, King Charlemagne, King's County, Mozart and Turnberry Isle.
Intended runners among the home team include Tamburlaine for Richard Hannon, the Mick Channon pair Cd Europe and Dayglow Dancer, and Sean Woods's Cauvery. Craig Wiiliams will bid for his second Group One win in eight days, on Cd Europe who was fourth in the Grand Criterium last time out when he pulled too hard.
The other British-trained entries are Dilshaan (Sir Michael Stoute), Fair Question (John Dunlop), Grandera (James Fanshawe) and Snowstorm (Michael Bell).
