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.

DJ Earworm is back with his annual end of year mash-up of the biggest songs, and 2015’s release is superbly executed.
From Taylor Swift’s break-up smash “Bad Blood” and Bruno Mars’ chart-topper “Uptown Funk” to Ellie Goulding’s Fifty Shades of Grey theme and Adele’s comeback hit “Hello”, you won’t be able to get this one out of your head all day.
Earworm, real name Jordan Roseman has built his latest offering around The Weeknd’s hugely popular “I Can’t Feel My Face” and Maroon 5’s catchy “Sugar”, but snippets of all your favourites are bound to feature in there somewhere (Swifties, rejoice, as there are four from Taylor alone).
“I try to get a feel of what is in the zeitgeist,” he told Billboard. “Music has been going through a softer phase than it was a few years ago so there’s the return of adult contemporary.
“That’s maybe represented by the Ellie Goulding track, it’s very lush and soft, and then there’s sort of retro, uptempo dance stuff, and that’s represented by The Weeknd track.
“It’s a more eclectic mix than it was five years ago.”
