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.

The inquiry is believed to focus on the role played by Bebe's agent, Jorge Mendes, who also represents Cristiano Ronaldo, Nani and Anderson, and who is reported to have received 40 per cent of the transfer fee. United deny any wrongdoing.
Meanwhile United have informed the Football Association that Stuart Pearce cannot select any of their over-age players for the British Olympic team for the London Games apart from Ryan Giggs.
