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.

'It's Ghana be close'
Germany face a crucial showdown with Ghana after collapsing to a surprise defeat at the hands of Serbia in Group D.
Before the game, much of the talk had been of how many of Joachim Löw's team would score after they impressed during an opening 4-0 win over Australia. But that win was very much put into perspective by Serbia.

'Mexico make history'
Coach Javier Aguirre made a risky gamble and sent onto the pitch "Chicharito" Hernandez in place of Efrain Juarez. The gamble paid dividends and Hernandez broke the deadlock, repeating the feat of his grandfather Tomas Balcazar, who scored in the 1954 World Cup.
Marca, Spain
'Big blow for Germany'
What have things come to? The team that, up to this point, was playing the best football of the World Cup saw its dream of securing their ticket through to the second round dashed after losing to Serbia 1-0, through the luminous boots of Milan Jovanovic.
USA Today
'American defense gets a D'
Mental lapses in a game that meant so much to hopes of advancing is absolutely inexcusable. Across the backline a horrid performance against an average attack. Games are won with defense and the Americans had none.
