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.

Hero Jae-Joong, Micky Yoo-Chun and Xiah Jun-Su have formed a group named JYJ after the first initials of their Korean names and will release an album entitled "The Beginning" on October 12, the publicist said in a statement.
The English-language album to be released worldwide features 10 songs including a title called "Ayyy Girl" produced by West, a Grammy-winning rapper.
Warner Music Group will distribute it, the agency said,
The five-member TVXQ debuted in 2003 and sold more than eight million copies at home and abroad, while holding sellout concerts in countries like China, Thailand and Malaysia.
It also released albums in Japanese and Chinese.
But TVXQ broke up last year amid legal disputes with its agency, Seoul-based SM Entertainment.
