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 always charming yet abrasive Ricky Gervais returned for his fourth hosting gig at one of the biggest nights in film and television. Gervais has received much criticism for his offensive jokes in the past. From calling Kim Kardashian trashy to bringing up Robert Downey Jr's criminal history, Gervais has already tried to offer some reassurance to Hollywood's brightest stars.
“No one wants to be the butt of a joke, but I’m not trying to ruin their night. I’m making jokes,” Gervais said on Late Night with Conan O'Brien last week. “Also, I’ll do it about things they’ve done, not about things they can’t help. I think I’m fair.”
The Hollywood Foreign Press Association recently announced the event’s presenters featuring a long list of talent including: Viola Davis, Taraji P Henson, Terrence Howard, Michael Keaton, Dwayne Johnson, Kevin Heart, Lady Gaga, Eva Longoria, Mark Wahlberg and Eddie Redmayne amongst many others.
