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.

Your support makes all the difference.Nasa has turned to Nexus Management, a London-listed technology group, to defend its against internet attacks. The deal, which Nexus is expected to announce t as early as tomorrow, will see a subsidiary, Resilience Technology provide firewalls to the US space agency as it takes on hackers and computer viruses.
The deal is one of several contracts that Resilience will detail this week. Market sources said that the other contracts will be with a major American telecoms company and a bank based in the Caribbean.
The deals justify Nexus's acquisition of Resilience for $1.8m (£1.3m) in March. The Nexus board, led by its chief executive, Roger Richardson, said at the time that it hoped Resilience would boost its 2010 earnings.
Shares in Nexus, which has offices in the UK and Maine, are listed on the junior Alternative Investment Market. They closed at 0.38p on Friday, down from 0.40p at the start of trading and a 52-week high of 1.44p. The group's market capitalisation is nearly £4.2m.
