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.

The first domestic silverware is up for grabs in Scotland, the CIS Cup. Guess which two sides are in the final? At Twickenham Martin Johnson will be desperate for a win, but never write off the French. And it's come to something when England's cricketers must win a Twenty20 match in Trinidad to salvage a modicum of pride.
Tomorrow
England's women cricketers, on the other hand, are good and should beat West Indies to reach the World Cup final. Swimming fans should head to Sheffield to see Rebecca Adlington's first competitive dips since her Beijing bonanza.
Tuesday
Arsenal and Hull meet for a place in the FA Cup semi-finals, while the punters are bound to flock to cricket's Pro Arch Trophy in Sharjah, where Fly Emirates take on Essex.
Wednesday
Aberdeen fans haven't had too much to shout about since, well, Alex Ferguson headed south, but if they can beat Dunfermline in this replay and then see off Falkirk, they will reach the Scottish Cup final.
Thursday
Thankfully, Manchester City are the only British team left in the Uefa Cup. Tonight, a nation yawns as they cruise past AaB Aalborg to reach the last eight.
Friday
Can all the English clubs avoid each other in the quarter-final draw for the Champions' League? The draws for the semi-finals and final are also made, which is, frankly, silly.
Saturday
Six Nations D-Day. France look to pile on the points in Rome and the Calcutta Cup is a mere sideshow before the big one: Wales v Ireland in Cardiff.
