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.

BARING TRIBUNE Investment Trust yesterday launched a fresh scheme to beat off arbitrageurs seeking to break up the pounds 300m vehicle. BART is offering investors the choice of staying with the trust or selling out at a 5 per cent discount. Last month the trust beat off an attempt to break it up by Advance UK, a fund widely seen as an arbitrageur. Under the plan, shareholders who want to exit can opt for a separate pool of investment, run by Barclays Global Investors, which will simply track the FT All-Share Index. They can then sell these shares. The plan marks a new direction in efforts to defend the UK's pounds 60bn investment trust industry.
