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.

Queens Moat Houses has had to modify the terms of its £1.2bn financial reconstruction to placate some lenders that objected to the outline proposals made by the beleaguered hotel group just before Christmas. A spokesman for Barclays, the lead bank and a joint co-ordinator of Queens' lender group, yesterday confirmed that modifications had been made but declined to be specific about the details. He said: "Full details of the reconstruction will be sent out to shareholders by the end of the month. However, no one lender or class of lender will benefit at the expense of others."
It was confirmed yesterday that all 74 lenders have agreed to back the refinancing, which has taken the best part of two years to piece together. Dealings in shares in Queens were suspended at 47.5p in February 1993.
