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.

People parked their cars on the hard shoulder and ran to scoop up the notes on the busy road near Maastricht. Police in the southern Dutch province of Limburg confirmed in their Twitter feed: "It briefly rained bank bills."
People were seen grabbing handfuls of cash before hopping back into their cars and driving away, according to the broadcaster NOS. It was not clear how much cash was lost or how it could have fallen. AP
