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.

Fans of the classy establishment say that its breathtaking cuisine matches its sweeping views of the city.
With stunning views of the Hong Kong skyline, Above and Beyond offers some of the city’s most lauded Cantonese cuisine from its executive chef Paul Tsui. His signature dishes include: Crispy chicken, Wok-fried lobster with egg white and black truffles, Wok-fried diced whole abalone with lily bulbs and Asparagus in XO Sauce, Wok-fried prawns with tangerine peel and Fermented black beans.
And Above and Beyond’s afternoon tea is gaining fans in the food world as it presents an offering with a twist thanks to Executive Pastry Chef Danny Ho.
Originally from Malaysia and yet acclaimed for his French pastries, Chef Ho is an expert at incorporating Asian flavours into traditionally European treats.
Expect indulgent sweets such as the Green Tea Choux with Lychee Cream, Black and White Sesame Cake Roll and the 66 per cent Dark Chocolate Ball with Ginseng from this Afternoon Tea set are a testament to this skill.
Guests can also enjoy a series of savoury highlights such as the Deep-fried Wagyu Beef Spring Roll with Black Pepper as well as Smoked Egg with Oolong Tea.
