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.

A 26- year-old woman was killed when a car skidded on ice near Haywards Heath in West Sussex. The worst-hit areas were in south Wales, where temperatures nosedived to minus 17C with the wind-chill factor. North-east England, Humberside, Merseyside and southern Scotland all had snow, which combined with freezing winds to cause power cuts.
