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.

Mr McVeigh, in the first of a two-part jailhouse interview published in Sunday's edition of the Buffalo News, also refused to say if he committed the bombing or if he knew who did. He was convicted in June of the blast that killed 168 people and injured hundreds in 1995. The paper interviewed McVeigh on Friday at the maximum-security federal penitentiary in Florence, Colorado.
When asked if he thought he could win freedom on appeal - a process which experts say could take two to four years - McVeigh said his chances were "slim to none". AP - Buffalo, New York
