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.

Sheikh Ali Sabah al-Salem, the Defence Minister, who is a member of the ruling family, said the would-be attacker was one of 14 people detained in connection with an Iraqi plot against Kuwait. They drove from Iraq into Kuwait with carloads of explosives, the minister said. After they were arrested, one confessed he planned to strap explosives around his waist and blow himself up, with Mr Bush, who was visiting Kuwait.
