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.

Panthers continued in their winning ways against Edinburgh Racers, taking a 3-0 lead after 12 minutes and only Ivan Matulik's two goals were any consolation for Racers as they lost 10-2. But the following day Panthers tasted defeat for only the second time this season as Durham Wasps avenged a 7-3 thrashing two weeks ago with an 8-5 win.
Sheffield breezed past Peterborough Pirates 6-2 and Whitley Warriors 12-6 but a revitalised Fife Flyers dented Cardiff Devils' prospects. Flyers welcomed back import Mark Morrison from injury and 1993-94 player of the year Doug Smail, who returned from the States to help his former club for the rest of the season. Their presence inspired the 7-4 win that left Devils four points off the top.
