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.

PlayStation (Disney Interactive)

£29.99
Adventures in Neverland takes gamers deep into the fabled fantasy world. The game begins when Tinkerbell gives Peter a treasure map and sends him on a quest to find the booty before Captain Hook does. Despite the copious number of loading screens, Peter Pan's amusing cut scenes and ease of playability make this an ideal title to keep youngsters happy during the summer.
Police 24/7
PlayStation 2 (Konami)
****
£39.99
Continuing in the same vein as their blockbusting Time Crisis series, Konami's brand new shoot-'em-up focuses on a battle between the Japanese Mafia and the law. The game is a classic first-person shooter, in which you must blow all criminal threats to pieces. While the game is unusually slow for this genre, its use of motion-sensor hardware gives it an innovative edge.
V-Rally 3
PlayStation 2 (Atari)
Disney Interactive
£39.99
V-Rally was a revolution when first launched, humbling a well-established genre with its stylish looks and immaculate physics. Now, in its third incarnation, the game is fast becoming an institution with its tweaked graphics, honed physics and even more challenging gameplay. While it may still have its work cut out to pip Colin McRae's Rally to the post, this is definitely a front-runner.
SSX Tricky
EA (Gamecube)
****
£39.99
Having already charmed Xbox and PS2 owners with its unusual snowboarding action, SSX Tricky lands on Nintendo's Gamecube. As before, the game offers both trick- and speed-contests across various modes for one or two players. Although not as polished in terms of graphics or controls as the PS2 version, the game is still one of the best extreme sports titles on the market.
