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 Last Night of the Electrics tour will kick off in October and travel across Europe, arriving in the UK for December.
Fans can expect all the hits from Francis Rossi, Rick Parfitt, Andrew Bown, John ‘Rhino’ Edwards and Leon Cave, who will also be delving into their impressive catalogue to keep everyone entertained.
“We've talked about it for some time and have decided that it’s time for us to hang up the electrics,” frontman Rossi said. “It's getting harder and harder for us to play those shows. It’s 30 years since we last said we were stopping but this is a final decision.
“It doesn’t mean we won’t do other things, perhaps the odd special, but we’re agreed that the moment has come. There’s more to come from us in the years ahead, but we won’t tour the electric set ever again.”
Parfitt added that the show “hurts now, physically”, with the band struggling to maintain the level of energy that makes a Quo show so spectacular.
“This is defintely the end of our lives on the road with the electric set,” he said. “Life won’t be the same for us, or many of the fans, but we can’t go on at this pace any more.”
