Your support helps us to tell the story
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.

Taiwan's coastguard said the bodies of four Indonesian and two Taiwanese crewmen from the Ocean Glory were recovered after the ship sank shortly after leaving the port of Keelung.
Local media outlets say heavy fog or rough seas may have caused the accident.
The coastguard said searchers rescued seven people and were still looking for the two missing crew members.
