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.

We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.When you really think about it, the very notion of waxwork models is a weird and wonderful thing.
Still, millions of people around the world enjoy having photos taken alongside waxwork models of extremely famous people. Take, for instance, global museum Madame Tussauds - one visit and you'll find yourself stood alongside an assortment of famous figures including the Queen, Tom Cruise and, should you so wish, Niall from One Direction.
Two waxworks they don't have, however, are - for better or worse - John Travolta and Nicolas Cage's Face/Off characters.
Fortunately, somewhere in the world does.
Through a spot of extensive Googling, Twitter user @BlakeGoble discovered that somebody has immortalised Castor Troy and sean Archer into waxwork - and it's perhaps the most unsettling thing you'll see all day.
Unfortunately, we're not sure where these two are located - or even if they still exist, but regardless, they're a sight that needs to be seen.
John Woo's cult thriller Face/Off was released in 1997. The film follows FBI agent Archer (Travolta) and his attempts to bring terrorist Troy (Cage) to justice - a hunt that leads to the two swapping faces.
Judging by the alarmed look on the respective waxwork's faces, we're assuming these are the characters post-face swap.
