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.

Signet yesterday denied that it had held any discussions with ousted chief executive Gerald Ratner about selling parts of the jewellery group. Mr Ratner, whose name the group once bore, is reported to be attempting to line up venture capital backing to buy back the Ernest Jones and H Samuel chains. He is also said to be seeking a strong City name to act as chairman, acknowledging that he could not raise the necessary capital on his own.
