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.

Jani Sievinen produced his second short-course world record performance in just four days in the World Cup meet at Sheffield yesterday.
The world 200 metres medley champion, who cut over a second off his own 400m medley record in Finland on Saturday, equalled his world best for the 100m medley. The 21-year-old Finn stormed home in 53.78sec to equal the mark he set four years ago and also picked up a pounds 1,000 bonus on offer for any world record in the World Cup series.
Britain's Mark Foster, with his eyes firmly on the Olympics, passed up the chance for another attack on his world 50m butterfly record. Instead he finished third in the 100m freestyle.
