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.

Benjamin Franklin made a resolution for the day after waking up at 5 a.m., as former Business Insider intern Anisa Purbasari learned while following Franklin's routine for a week. He asked himself, "What good shall I do this day?"
In the infographic below, business productivity software company Podio assembled the daily routines of 26 successful people throughout history. You'll quickly notice that although high achievers like routine, they spent their days very differently from one another.
To see the interactive version of the graphic, which provides insight into many of the days (Victor Hugo had coffee and two raw eggs for breakfast!), visit Podio.
