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.

At precisely the wrong time for Warwickshire they lost a day to the weather for the first time this season. Their game against Gloucestershire at Edgbaston failed to start yesterday due to constant rain.
Doubly frustrating for Dermot Reeve and Co is that 25 miles away Worcestershire enjoyed almost full day's play at New Road where Somerset reached 267 for 6.
The only century-maker of a truncated day was Mark Waugh against a Derbyshire attack that included three England bowlers. His unbeaten 113 with 13 fours took Essex to 315 for 9 at Chelmsford.
Dominic Cork and Devon Malcolm were hit for sixes while Phil DeFreitas also found it difficulty in stemming the flow of runs, although the acting captain finished with 5 for 59. Malcolm found the going as tough as at The Oval, conceding 103 off 21 overs.
Hampshire reached 198 for 4 at Trent Bridge after being restricted by a morning spell from Nottinghamshire's Jon Wileman of 13-11-2-2.
