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.

Your support makes all the difference.From the “Go Home” billboard vans to the “hostile environment” policy , there are many moments during Theresa May’s time as home secretary that have come back to haunt her.
And now a threatening Valentine's Day message tweeted by the Home Office in 2013 has resurfaced on Twitter, which has drawn a lot of criticism.
The tweet reads:
#Rosesareredvioletsareblue, if your marriage is a sham we’ll be on to you
#happyvalentinesday
Lots of people were furious with the Tweet, if not that surprised.
But others have clapped back by coming up with their own poems mocking Theresa May and the Home Office.
May's Jamgate is clearly still fresh in people's minds.
Of course, there were plenty of Brexit references.
And Chris Grayling didn’t escape unscathed.
