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.

Around 3am on Tuesday, the driver of a white Honda Pilot crashed into the service fence between the Allegheny’s SEPTA station on the Frankford Market Line and a neighboring Walgreens. Fox 29 in Philadelphia reported that vehicle had been traveling at a speed of 100mph before the crash.
The driver of the car was killed, as were two pedestrians — one of whom was decapitated. Another victim is in stable condition at an area hospital.
Kensington and Allegheny avenues in northeast Philadelphia have reportedly been closed this morning. SEPTA service is continuing in the area, but the Allegheny station is also closed as law enforcement investigate.
