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.

Harry, Ron and Hermione have left Hogwarts and are looking for Horcruxes – which, for the uninitiated, are fragments of Lord Voldemort's soul. The story is complex and David Yates has to assume a vast amount of knowledge in his audience. There are some gripping moments and plenty of how-did-they-do-that CGI – a scene in which seven people turn into seven Harry Potters is eye-catching. But this is a static, plot-driven film with not enough action. One for dedicated Potter fans only.
