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.

The company’s status page said that it was having “a system issue” that had caused problems across a range of different parts of PayPal, including the ability to withdraw funds or use its express checkout tool.
“Our technical teams are actively working towards resolving the issue,” it said in the update.
The problems were also affecting PayPal’s crypto offering and the Xoom and Venmo apps that can be used to send money online.
Other parts of PayPal – such as Zettle, the small card machines that are used by many traders to make sales – were working as expected, the page indicated.
Tracking website Down Detector registered a huge spike in the number of people reporting problems around midday UK time on Thursday.
