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.
Your support makes all the difference.THIS is the captain of your ship, your heart talkin' . . .

It is his first against the West Indies; he is unlikely to make a more inspiring one.
From Norway to No Way. Anxious, presumably, to avoid being immortalised as a vegetable, John Toshack resigns as the Welsh football manager after 47 days, one defeat and a roasting from his compatriots. The Englishman Mike Smith returns.
Frank Bruno meets a bum in Brum and has a pleasant night out, knocking out 'Big Jesse' Ferguson in 147 seconds at the NEC. Next up, hopes St Bruno, is that walking contradiction, George Foreman, Punching Preacher.
