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.

The National Grid Company failed again to reach final agreement on details of its pounds 3bn flotation, expected to take place in December. An announcement expected last Friday was postponed because of tax-related "technical" issues raised by Hanson, the industrial group that has bought Eastern Electricity, one of the 12 regional electricity companies which owns the Grid. Industry sources hope for resolution of the problem by tomorrow.
