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.

4-1, and Real Madrid only managed a 1-1 draw with Rayo Vallecano. Barcelona's victory came courtesy of Bulgarian Hristo Stoichkov's first goal in 10 weeks, and it opens up a one-point lead with six games remaining. Deportivo La Coruna, in third place, are now six points behind the leaders.
Marseille closed in on their fifth consecutive French League title with a 3-2 win at Caen. Marseille were twice behind, but a second goal from Abedi Pele, seven minutes from time, extended their lead to three points. Monaco, who were their nearest rivals, fell further behind by losing 1-0 to Paris St Germain who replaced them in second place.
PSV Eindhoven's league hopes were given a boost by their traditional rivals, Ajax, who beat second-placed Feyenoord 5-2 yesterday. PSV beat Go Ahead Eagles 2-0 and have a one- point lead and a game in hand over Feyenoord.
