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.

SALES at Manganese Bronze accelerated to record levels after the launch of its new TX1 London taxi last October, the black-cab maker said yesterday. Profits before tax fell from pounds 8.3m to pounds 5m for the year to 31 July. Hugh Lang, chairman, said the fall was due to higher than expected costs of introducing the first completely new model for many years.
However, turnover rose 13 per cent to pounds 115.0m, climbing 29 per cent in the second half as taxi sales rose 24 per cent year-on-year to 1,803.
