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.

Your support makes all the difference.From Hailey Bieber’s Rhode to Selena Gomez’s Rare Beauty, the world of celebrity beauty brands is big business. Now, Beyoncé has launched her very own haircare line: Cécred.
After teasing her fans (aka the BeyHive) with the upcoming brand last May, the Renaissance singer took it back to her roots for the announcement of her first-ever beauty brand.
Captioning a post on Instagram earlier this month with “hair is sacred”, the accompanying video interspersed archive footage of her mum’s old hair salon in Houston with clips of hair washing, braiding and Beyoncé herself.
Never one to do things by halves, the singer’s new haircare line arrives alongside a world stadium tour announcement and two new singles – Texas Hold ‘Em and 16 Carriages – from the second part of the Renaissance project, set to drop next month.
Is this the celebrity beauty brand to eclipse all other A-lister labels? From the products to buy to the singer’s inspiration behind the brand, here’s everything you need to know.
What is Cécred?
Inspired by Beyoncé’s mother, Tina Knowles-Lawson, Cécred will sell haircare products. The name is a fusion of “Cé” from Beyoncé and “sacred”, with the brand said to combine modern science with timeless hair traditions.
When will Cécred launch?
After teasing the brand last May, Beyoncé’s brand Cécred officially launched on Tuesday 20 February.
