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 five-year-old Maine coon named Stewie was certified as the new record holder after measuring slightly more than 48.5 inches (1.23 metres) long from the tip of his nose to the tip of his tail bone, The Reno Gazette-Journal reported. The record was previously held by another Maine coon that measured 48 inches.
Stewie's owners, Robin Hendrickson and Erik Brandsness, say they decided to put their pet up for the record after countless people commented on Stewie's length.
