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 that streak, the team has 33 goals and has not conceded a goal in the last six games — a first under Guardiola.
Wolverhampton Wanderers avoided becoming the latest Premier League casualty only by scoring in the third minute of injury time to salvage a 2-2 draw at third-tier Shrewsbury.
Wolves, who knocked out Liverpool in the third round, rested key players for the game despite not being in genuine danger of relegation in its first season back in the Premier League.
In an all-Premier League matchup, Watford won 2-0 at Newcastle, which hasn't progressed beyond the fourth round since 2006. Brighton was taken to a replay by second-tier West Bromwich Albion after a 0-0 draw.
And after Everton were stunned by Millwall, West Ham were knocked out by AFC Wimbledon. Re-live the action:

GOAL! Newcastle 0-1 Watford (Gray 61')
This is a corker from Gray. Will Hughes spins out of a tackle and plays a wonderful reverse pass to Andre Gray, who fires past the keeper from 16 yards with a lot still to do.
61 min: Shrewsbury 1-0 Wolves
Wolves bring on Raul Jimenez for Leander Dendoncker and the Mexican's first action is to poke wide from six yards when unmarked. What a chance.
GOAL! Manchester City 3-0 Burnley (De Bruyne 61')
This is a stunner from the Belgian. Mahrez plays the ball to him, and he fires past Pope from 22 yards into the bottom corner. Emphatic.
65 min: Newcastle 0-1 Watford
Chance for Newcastle to equalise but Manquillo's clipped effort is headed away from danger.
GOAL! Doncaster 1-0 Oldham (Whiteman 68')
The midfielder's shot takes a slight deflection and goes into the bottom corner.
GOAL! Shrewsbury 2-1 Wolves (Jimenez 75')
The Mexican smashes home from close range from Ivan Cavaleiro's cross.
GOAL! Swansea 3-1 Gillingham (Celina 73')
Celina smashes one home from long-range to surely ensure Swansea progress to the next round.
