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.

We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.A rejuvenated Michael Schumacher is itching to get behind the wheel of a Formula One car again, he said yesterday.
"After my retirement at the end of 2006 I was very happy," he said. "I felt relieved, freed. It served me extremely well to be quiet for those three years. It really is as if my batteries are fully loaded. I can notice how the prickle is returning, and how motivated I am because I am so much looking forward to this competition. Physically, I have been working out since December and I feel fresh and fit. That was one of the reasons why I felt so good in the car in Jerez [during GP2 testing]. The test was super. It went better than I had expected. But then Formula One is another thing. That is why I am so looking forward to testing in February. I can't wait."
