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 Met Office five-day forecast shows little respite from chill easterly and northerly breezes that make it feel even colder than it is. Overnight temperatures of -1C forecast for the home counties will feel like a penetrating -6C.
And flurries of snow are forecast tomorrow especially in the east.
Sunday could be even more bitter with the strengthening north-easterly winds gusting up to 29mph.
The bitter, grey weather continues into next week. Even though temperatures improve slightly to 4C by Tuesday, the north-easterly breeze means it still feels like it's freezing.
Spare a thought for Pakistran and northern parts of India, with scores feared killed after torrential rain caused widespread floods. Some areas reported almost double the average February rainfall in just 48 hours.
