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.

“I have to say to the honourable gentleman, frankly he talks about job insecurity and my two months to go,” the PM said in response to a question about job insecurity.
"It might be in my party’s interest for him to sit there – he’s not in the national interest. I would say: for heaven’s sake, man, go!"
MPs of all parties were uncharacteristically quiet during the PMQs session, the first since the EU referendum.
Mr Cameron has himself said he will step down by Conservative conference in October, with a new leader in place by then.
He resigned in the wake of defeat at the EU referendum.
Mr Corbyn has also come under sustained pressure from MPs to resign, but has refused to do so.
Dozens of MPs have stepped down from the shadow cabinet since the weekend calling for a change of Labour leader.
The most recent casualty was Pat Glass, the new shadow education secretary appointed by Mr Corbyn just 48 hours ago.
She resigned on Wednesday morning, saying Labour's position was “untenable”.
If Mr Corbyn does not step down voluntarily rebel Labour MPs are expected to call a new leadership contest to get rid of him.
The leader's internal opponents have however so far been unable to agree on a candidate to replace him.
