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.

Fabrizio Ravanelli, Marseilles' Italian international striker, posed a goal threat whenever he set foot on the pitch in his season with Middlesbrough, and remains a terrifying prospect for any defence, especially one which leaked three goals to Southampton.
Barcelona are another side who look great going forward, but remain vulnerable at the back and Arsenal could surprise them at the Nou Camp, while Chelsea should beat Galatasaray tonight, but the Turkish outfit, top of their league, are no pushovers and the draw is the value. On Thursday, West Ham, 3-0 up from the first leg, should have little trouble in holding NK Osijeck, third in their league after beating Hrv Dragovoljac 2-1 at the weekend, to a draw in Croatia.
France are the value in the Rugby Union World Cup. They have a clear run through to the semi-finals. After that, anything can happen.
n Suggested bets: pounds 1 on Chelsea to draw with Galatasaray at 3-1 (Stanley); pounds 1 on Marseilles to beat Manchester United at 5-1 (Ladbrokes and the Tote); pounds 1 on Arsenal to beat Barcelona at 7-2 (Coral, William Hill and the Tote); and pounds 1 on NK Osijek to draw with West Ham at 12-5 (Stanley) France to win the Rugby Union World Cup at 25-1 (Coral and William Hill). (pounds 5 staked).
