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.

Following a recent BBC survey of more than 161,000 people, academics have concluded that Britons can no longer be boxed into these three categories: we’re now split into seven different social classes.
These classes are not just defined by income; researchers argue that economic, social and cultural factors need all be taken into an account. For instance the ‘emergent service workers’ class – mostly young people- have relatively low income, but high ‘social and cultural capital’.
So now you’re wondering: just how posh am I?
You have the option to take the actual British class calculator here, but if you want a more… let’s say 'light hearted' analysis, take the quiz below.
We've used Debrett's etiquette guide to formulate the perfect test of poshness. You'll see.
Did we guess right?
