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.

The tie brings Ferguson and Kevin Keegan face to face, rekindling memories of their confrontation for the Premiership title in 1996, when Keegan was in charge of Newcastle United. With the title race hotting up, and Newcastle having blown a considerable lead, Keegan let his emotions get the better of him during an interview on television: "I'd just love it if we could beat them [Manchester United]. I'd love it."
Leeds United, who thrashed Portsmouth 5-1 at Fratton Park on Saturday without eight first-team regulars, will face a re-union with their former manager, if George Graham's new club, Tottenham Hotspur, overcome Wimbledon in a replay. Keith Gillespie, who scored Blackburn Rovers' winner against Sunderland on Saturday, faces a trip back to his old club, Newcastle.
