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.

The victor will also take home a $250,000 (£210,000) grand prize, as well as win a trip to the Best Fifa Football Awards.
The first part of the tournament will consist of four groups, each consisting of eight players. Seven rounds of matches will determine who goes through to the Round of 16, with the top four players from each group qualifying for the knock-out stages.
The Round of 16 will see the best-placed finishers of the group stages face off against the lower-placed qualifiers, with only the winners of this round going through to the Quarter-Finals. From here the winners go to the Semi-Finals and then, if they keep winning, onto the Final.
Up until the Final, players will be playing against other players on their preferred console, as the World Cup is split into two streams for Xbox and Playstation right until the final. It is then that the best Playstation player and best Xbox player face each other, with the Final consisting of a two-leg tie consisting of one match each on the Playstation and Xbox.
Day one and day two of the tournament will sort out the group stages and the Round of 16. The final day will then see the Semi-finals and Final.

Msdossary is holding it up, with one last attack here to try and equalise before the second leg.
Full time. At the close of the first leg, Rafsou is 2-1 up.
Worth remembering that, in the group stage, the match between this pair went very differently: Msdossary won 6-0. Something very profound appears to have changed since then...
Oof. Msdossary smashes it – into the crossbar. That could have been the goal to get back into the game. But ti wasn't.
Yet another failed attempt. Msdossary looks lively around Rafsou's box – but he manages to put a stop to it, and the attack once again fizzles out.
GOAL. Msdossary scores.
At last. After repeatedly being frustrated, the Saudi finally scores.
It's 2-2, with 10 minutes left in the first half of the second leg.
Half time. With just 45 minutes of the semi-final left, there is nothing in it.
