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.

The 38-year-old, winner of the French and Australian Opens during a career in which he reached world No 1 in 1999, plays his second Tour event at the Lyoness Open in Atzenbrugg.
His debut came in the 2008 Russian Open, but rounds of 89 and 80 meant he missed the halfway cut by 27, although there was one player 15 shots worse than that – amateur Alexei Kovalev had rounds of 99 and 85.
Bad though that looked, it was better than Kafelnikov's first outing on the second-tier Challenge Tour. That was in Moscow in 2005 and he was dead last on 40 over par with scores of 88 and 96.
