Your support helps us to tell the story
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.

Elsewhere, Tottenham, who thrashed Newcastle 4-0 at White Hart Lane, will face Championship side Sheffield United.
Spurs manager Mauricio Pochettino said after the win: "We have respect for Sheffield United - it is never easy. Yesterday they played very well and deserve to be in semi-final. We expect a tough game."
Rodgers, after watching his Liverpool side defeat Bournemouth, said: "It didn't matter who we got in the draw, it was just important to get there - to win this competition you have to win games against big sides.
"I thought it was a brilliant performance from us tonight, it was always going to be a difficult job, but we controlled the game and pressed at the right times and created chances. We thoroughly deserved it.
The semi-finals will be played over two legs, with the first during the week commencing January 19 and the second the week beginning January 26.
The winners of those ties will then meet at the final at Wembley on Sunday March 1.
