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.

Lego Hogwarts moment defence class: £24.99, Lego.com
Earning a spot in our round-up of the best Lego sets for kids, our tester praised this as a great build for easy on-the-go play. “The set is recommended for those over eight but our nine-year-old whipped it up in no time, so younger children shouldn’t find it too challenging,” they said. The portable playset is designed to look like a brick-built spell book and opens up for play. “Everything can be tucked away inside the book when your child moves onto something else – a godsend if space is tight.” Costing just £24.99, note that you’ll need to purchase something else from the Harry Potter collection to make it up to £130.
