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.

No, it’s not a soapbox. It’s the Arcfox-7, just unveiled by Beijing Automotive Industry Corporation.
Naturally enough, BAIC lifted the wraps on its new electric supercar at its hometown show. Styled in Spain and inspired by Formula E racecars, it packs a 603bhp electric motor that’ll whisk it to 62mph in less than three seconds.
Just as importantly, a 6.6kWh battery gives the car a range of more than 185 miles. Not at a constant 160-plus mph, maybe but it’ll go that fast if you ask it.
Further features are pure supercar – carbon ceramic brakes, 4-point harnesses and so forth. Oh, and gull-wing doors.
Pah, we’ve had cars with those for decades. Future, schmuture. So how do we start the thing? What do you mean ‘fingerprint scanner?’
