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.

Your support makes all the difference.If you have more than a passing interest in men's fashion, you will know, even if you weren't there to experience it first hand, that the early 1990s saw the launch of the original Jigsaw menswear label.
Headed up by Chris Bailey, it heralded the arrival of affordable yet desirable fashion on the high-street. Trend-driven clothes without a designer price tag attached were a revelation at that time.
Fast forward then to 2013 and Bailey, along with his business partner, fashion director and creative David Bradshaw, is back with new label Hunter Gather. Bradshaw, who has previously worked on style magazines Arena Homme + and GQ Style, is front of house for the brand but his vision for the label is of a collective of individuals scouring the globe for inspiration, bringing affordable yet stylish clothes to the modern man.
And what of the clothes? Well, outerwear features shearling jackets and pea coats, while basics such as cotton T-shirts and cashmere knits are of the highest standard. Hunter Gather also offers, rather bravely, its take on the perfect white shirt. What's also appealing is the brand's take on seasons; clothes won't change drastically every six months, meaning customers, as well as the label, won't be thrown off kilter by any flash-in-the-pan seasonal trends. Bradshaw will only add to the existing collection when he deems it necessary.
As well as a stand-alone London store, there's also a new space in Selfridges, while online you can mull over the musings of an up-and-coming architect or actor as you fill your virtual basket with clothe
