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.Riders donned their finest tweed and most stylish attire as the annual Tweed Run cycling event returned to the streets of London.
Organised by creative lifestyle company Bourne & Hollingsworth, the event, which started in 2009, has continued to draw in crowds.
The sold-out cycle will take participants past famous landmarks including Parliament, the British Museum and St Paul’s Cathedral.
What distinguishes this bike ride from others is the fashionable tweed outfits donned by participants and this year was not short of stylish clothing.
One cyclist appeared to be head and shoulders above fellow participants as he rode a penny-farthing while dressed in bright orange knee-high socks and a tweed blazer and trousers.
A cyclist riding beside him sported a green check blazer with matching trousers, as well as mustard-coloured shoes.
One woman seemed happy to pose for photos ahead of the event as she showed off her beige beret, which featured a feather, as well as a beige poncho and brown trousers.
One woman provided a pop of colour with a red outfit, featuring a bright hat, coat, tights and gloves.
Participants will also be treated to tea and lunch during the ride, which usually ends with “a bit of a jolly knees-up”, according to organisers.
