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.

This is the simple story of a black Labrador and its obsession with a bottomless red bucket, which has put in many faithful years of service as its plaything, buoyancy aide and football.
In the video below the dog is seen chewing the bucket, firmly gripping the bucket, kicking along the bucket, swimming with the bucket, rolling the bucket, tossing the bucket in the air and generally wearing the bucket as a fun hat.
The video was made by a Redditor for his mother's birthday, but was immediately appreciated by a much wider audience.
As one commenter and keen punsman put it, when it comes to that bucket, everything else pails in comparison.
