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.

Northamptonshire have escaped a penalty for the state of their Wantage Road pitch during the current County Championship match against Essex. An England and Wales Cricket Board pitch panel comprising Phil Sharpe and Alan Smith examined the surface after the visitors were dismissed for 233 on the opening day but decided no deduction of points was necessary. It confirms the home county's promotion to the First Division.
