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.

More southern parts of the UK will see some sunny spells, with temperatures staying generally mild at between 10C and 15C.
As we reach Monday evening, the milder, sunnier weather will disappear as the area of high pressure that the UK has been sitting under disperses.
Movement of the jet stream will bring in cooler weather, winds and will cause a band of rain to move into the UK in northern parts of Scotland. This wetter weather will gradually move across the country as we move into Tuesday bringing with it cooler temperatures and more blustery spells.
Tuesday will see southwesterly wind increasing and some patchy rain as the band of rain moves southwards. This will primarily affect the northwest, with wetter weather hitting northwestern parts of Scotland and areas of Northern Ireland.
Winds will be a bit stronger in the northwest, although elsewhere winds should remain light. Temperatures will remain in the low teens for most, particularly in the south of the country.
As we move towards the end of the week, winds may increase and temperatures look set to plummet as an area of low pressure moves down from Iceland.
