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.

We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.A coach carrying 26 passengers has overturned while travelling on a motorway, according to police.
The accident, which happened on the M3 southbound a mile from Fleet services at about 6pm, involved a Dutch coach.
A Hampshire police spokesman said that none of the passengers was thought to have been seriously hurt in the crash although five had been taken to hospital for treatment.
The spokesman added: "The carriageway has been closed from junction 4a to 5 whilst the passengers are evacuated and the coach recovered.
"A diversion is in place along the A30, drivers are advised to avoid the area if possible."
The spokesman added: "The coach is a Dutch-registered vehicle which was carrying approximately 26 persons on board.
"Five persons have been injured as a result of this incident and they have been taken to hospital where they are currently receiving treatment.
"Arrangements are to be made for the other persons for their onward journey to their destination."
He said that the carriageway had been closed to allow the injured to be taken to hospital and to enable police to recover the overturned coach.
