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.

New research indicates that one in ten people in the Welsh city enjoy a full fry-up every day. Close on Swansea’s heels for the cooked breakfast crown was Aberdeen, in Scotland, and then Leeds in third place.
The survey, which was taken by 2,000 people across the country, showed that the English fry-up has beaten the more traditional “treat meals” – such as Sunday roast, curry or fish and chips – to claim the top spot as our favourite.
A quarter of the people surveyed by Hilton Garden Inn rated a cooked breakfast as their first choice of meal. Nearly 30 per cent admitted to eating at least one cooked breakfast a week.
The result also revealed that although the UK may have become more Americanised in many of our eating habits (please see maple syrup and bacon pancakes) a good English brew was still the drink of choice with our breakfast.
Just under 40 per cent of people drink tea, compared to 33 per cent who prefer coffee, with their first meal of the day.
Finally, most people would like to have breakfast with footballer David Beckham – expect in the north-east where singer Cheryl Fernandez-Versini clearly has some fans.
