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.

Berti Vogts' men made their usual clinical efficient job of brushing aside the United States and Iran but were almost embarrassed by Yugoslavia, their principal Group F opponents.
However, it was hard not to be impressed by the manner in which Germany came back from 2-0 down in that game and they seem, as usual, to be getting better as the tournament progresses.
Oliver Bierhoff has yet to justify a pre-tournament recommendation for the Golden Boot award but Milan's acquisition seems to be running in to form and he looks the best bet to be the first goalscorer.
The game between the Netherlands and Yugoslavia looks like a draw (maybe 1-1) after 90 minutes.
The Netherlands hammered South Korea en route to winning Group E, but failed to impress in the defence department when losing a lead to Mexico in their last game. They look no certainties to beat Yugoslavia, who exceeded expectations when almost upsetting Germany in Group F. Dennis Bergkamp is the best bet to be the first goalscorer.
