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.

Lufti, who apparently works solely with troubled pop stars, let slip that he and Courtney Love are "currently working on a possible motion picture or Broadway musical based on the Nirvana catalogue, based on her life and Kurt Cobain's."
I'm sure Kurt, who loathed the band's increasing commerciality at the time of his suicide in 1994, would be thrilled with the news. Not only that, but it was also revealed last week that CBS had bought the rights to a new family sitcom called Smells Like Teen Spirit, named after Nirvana's 1991 hit single and threatening to feature "1990s indie-rock parents". It's from one of the writers of The Big Bang Theory. How punk!
Cobain's memory has taken a hammering this year. Along with musicals and sitcoms, Republican Vice Presidential hopeful Paul Ryan came forward as a huge Nirvana fan. Cobain, a self-proclaimed feminist, would have detested Ryan's policies on women's health issues.
