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.

This is how it should read:
'TORONTO, ON - SEPTEMBER 10: Badass Michael Shannon attends showbiz party he probably doesn’t even know the name of after a long ass day in Toronto, Canada dressed like the kid who kicked over your lemonade stand before insisting it ain’t no thang and skateboarding off into the sunset.'
Shannon is in Toronto for the film festival (TIFF) where his new film Nocturnal Animals is showing. He wears a Stetson in the film and usually turns up to premieres dressed like this:
For reasons unknown, however, at Toronto he went for a floral Hawaiian shirt, aviators, cut-off jorts, striped socks and mix-and-match Converse.
This person put it best:
This has to be my second favourite Michael Shannon moment, after his dramatic reading of a sorority letter (below).
As premiere outfits go, it tops even Woody Harrelson's PJs at The Hunger Games.
Nocturnal Animals, which was directed by Tom Ford and looks great, opens in UK cinemas on 4 November, 2016.
