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 Yugoslav international Dejan Stankovic gave the Italians the lead in the 63rd minute, heading in a right-wing cross from Giuseppe Pancaro. The victory was sealed 13 minutes from time when Marcelo Salas drifted behind the French side's back four and crossed for Sergio Conceicao to tap into an unguarded net.
In Group C, Real Madrid won 2-1 at Dynamo Kiev with goals from Fernando Morientes, after 17 minutes, and Raul, three minutes after the break. Serhiy Rebrov responded for the Ukrainians with an 86th-minute penalty.
In the other Group C match, Bayern Munich controlled long spells of their game at Rosenborg Trondheim but were held to a 1-1 draw by the Norwegians. Carsten Jancker opened the scoring in the 10th minute for the Germans but last year's runners-up were wasteful in front of goal and they paid the price at the start of the second half when Bent Skammelsrud struck the equaliser.
