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.

James put on 86 with Hugh Morris (55) and 127 with Adrian Dale (36no) as Glamorgan reached 213 for 1 at the close.
Graeme Hick's hopes of regaining his England place took another knock when he was dismissed for nine against Leicestershire at New Road. Worces- tershire finished on 199 for 6.
David Lawrence was back in the wickets after his five-year lay-off with a broken knee. He took 1 for 70 from 15 overs for Gloucestershire at Bristol against Hampshire, for whom Robin Smith made 52 out of 221 for 6.
Alan Walker produced the best figures by a Durham bowler on home soil when he took 7 for 56 against Nottinghamshire at Hartlepool. The visitors were all out for 170 and Durham were 115 for 3. For Nottinghamshire Chris Tolley made a 59-ball half-century.
At Northampton only 32 overs were possible, the hosts reaching 126 for 4 against Somerset with Kevin Curran unbeaten on 65. And there was no play at all at Derby where Surrey are the visitors.
Nick Knight played his first game since breaking a finger in New Zealand, captaining Warwickshire for the first time against Oxford University, who were dismissed for 129 at The Parks. Another Warwickshire batsman, Cambridge University captain Anurag Singh, made 134 against Essex at Fenner's.
