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.

In tonight's other game...
GOAL! Wolfsburg 2 Real Madrid 0 (Arnold)
Maximilian Arnold has doubled the Bundesliga side's lead! It's 2-0 at the Volkswagen Arena.
33 min: PSG shading this tie but City looking dangerous on the counter-attack. The home side bossing possession too - 66% to City's 34%.
GOAL! De Bruyne scores for City!On the counter-attack, Fernando charges forward, he waits before passing to De Bruyne on the right hand side of the box. The Belgian takes a touch before firing the ball past Trapp in the PSG goal for his 14th of the season.
GOAL! PSG equalise though Ibrahimovic!Shocking from Fernando. Hart passes him the ball, he takes a lazy touch before Ibrahimovic jumps in to deflect the ball in past a stunned Hart. A calamitous goal to give away.
GOAL! Fernandinho scores crucial goal for City!Sagna crosses, it flicks off Thiago Silva and Fernandinho bundles it in. What an important goal that could be in the tie for City.
81 min: Just how vital will that Fernandinho goal prove? The second leg is on 12 April at the Etihad...
89 min: Some nice interplay fro PSG but City clear. With the two away goals, plus Luiz and Matuidi banned for the second leg this is not a bad night for City at all.
