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.

Gloucestershire secured a first-innings lead of 256 over Surrey at The Oval yesterday, then reduced their hosts to 59 for 3 to complete two days of total domination by the early Championship leaders.
Jack Russell (59) and Tim Hancock (49) produced an eighth-wicket stand of 81 in 19 overs to keep the pressure on Surrey, for whom Alex Tudor finished with 6 for 101, while David Lawrence claimed two of the three Surrey second-innings wickets in a five-over burst before bad light brought an early close.
David Boon (45) and Martin Speight (47no) pushed Durham towards a useful first-innings lead against Essex at Chelmsford despite being frustrated by the weather. Resuming at 122 for 3 in reply to 237, the visitors finished a rain-restricted day on 236 for 5.
Dean Jones made his second Championship half-century of the season for Derbyshire in a rain-affected day at Lord's. Bad light claimed 50 overs and at the end of it Middlesex were 108 for 3 in their second innings, 76 ahead.
