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.

After chewing on the sweets, rose oil components are emitted through the pores of the skin via an ingredient called geraniol.
According to a report from industry web publication ConfectionaryNews.com, Bulgarian sweets manufacturer Alpi has come out with bonbons that it claims have the ability to sweeten both the tongue and body. The sweets are called Deo Perfume Candy.
Theirs isn't the first dual-powered confectionary. A chewing gum in Japan also claims to both freshen your breath and your body. Fuwarinka gum, which comes in fresh citrus, fruity rose and rose menthol, is marketed as a men's deodorizing gum: after an hour of chewing the gum, the special exudes a rose scent from the skin and combats body odor, the gum claims.
But that's not all. The gum also purportedly has anti-aging properties, thanks to added Vitamin C and hyaluronic acid.
Meanwhile, the Deo Perfume Candy was recently featured at the International Exhibition of Inventions in Geneva last month.
While the Japanese chewing gum is geared towards men, the Deo Perfume Candy is marketed heavily towards women and could be sold as a perfume replacement.
The perfume confectionary will hit Bulgaria, Czech Republic and Hungary first, reports ConfectionaryNews.com.
