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.

Rebecca Gonsalves: A subtle hint of Hayek's jet-set lifestyle comes through in the artfully sun-lightened tips of these glossy curls. It's safe to say no Sun-In was involved in the making of this barnet.
Hugh Montgomery: A bit Charlie's Angels – as much as it pains us to say those two words, lest they inspire any more reboots.
The shades
Rebecca: Oversized aviators or glaucoma goggles – it's hard to tell, but at least the latter would explain the unfortunate choice of jumpsuit.
Hugh: Yes to the aviators, aka the current sunglasses frame du summer.
But for extra zeitgeist points, they really should be mirrored.
The jewellery
Rebecca: The chunky links and old gold tone are a step in the right direction but the height of the pendant should be adjusted, as should her bra.
Hugh: Chunky not clunky. Funky not junky. OK, we'll stop there.
The outfit
Rebecca: An unkind commentator might start humming a song by the California Raisins at the sight of the diminutive actress drowning in swathes of grape.
Hugh: The blockish cut of the trousers rather makes Hayek look like a 1970s Transformer. Make of that what you will.
