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.

We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Comfy bounced back from a 584-day lay-off to land the feature race at Leicester yesterday. Richard Hughes took Sir Michael Stoute's charge down to the start in gentle fashion but there was nothing tardy about the way they returned as they got the better of long-time leader Ceepio by half a length.
Disappointment of the seven-furlong event was the winner's stablemate, the 4-6 favourite L'Oiseau d'Argent, who ran no sort of race.
Later, Hughes was fined £130 for going down to the start late aboard Comfy.
