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.

We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.THE JAPANESE market slipped as traders took profits on export stocks, amid fears the yen had fallen as far as it could. The Nikkei 225 fell 0.25 per cent to close at 13,770.44, down 34.62 points.
Car manufacturers, including Toyota and Nissan, weakened amid concern that the yen would bounce back from yesterday's level of 114.75 to the dollar, hindering their ability to export.
Sentiment was also affected by a fall in bond prices that pushed up yields by 13 basis points, raising the cost of borrowing.
