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.

The German supermarket chain’s £17.49 Glen Marnoch Speyside Single Malt Scotch Whisky has been awarded a gold medal after a blind taste test at the renowned Spirits Business Scotch Whisky Masters.
And if that doesn’t have you running to your nearest store, the news that it beat the silver medal-winning Glenlivet Founder’s Reserve which sells for double the price at £37.45 just might.
The only other gold awarded in the Speyside category was the Tomatin 14-year-old Port Wood Finish, which costs £53.
This wasn’t the only win for the Aldi though. It’s £12.99 Highland Black 8-year-old Whisky also picked up a silver medal, making it one of the cheapest bottles to win a prize and bringing the brand’s total win to an impressive five medals for its whisky range.
The tipple has seen a boom this year with more than a fifth of Brits enjoying it regularly, and 12 per cent of us choose a glass of whisky over other spirits.
However, if gin is more your thing then never fear, because Aldi’s £9.97 Oliver Cromwell London Dry Gin was also presented with a gold medal at the International Wine and Spirits Competition last month.
