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.

Jaume Serra Cristalino Brut Cava, £3.99, Morrisons
No other sparkling wine can compete price-wise with cava. For celebrating the New Year on a budget, pop this crisply invigorating Spanish fizz, which got into this year's Spanish Top 100 for sheer exuberance and value. Corks away and wait for take off!

Round off the year's last supper with this superb Australian sweet white with elderflower aroma, gooseberry jam richness, and zesty concentration of noble rot, it's wonderful on its own or with blue cheese.

For a toast that leaves a lasting memory, this magnificent 10-year-old blend is simply amazing. Along with Krug, Cristal and Dom Pérignon, Taittinger's deluxe cuvée deserves all the plaudits lavished upon it.
