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.

Yuri Titov, the former Soviet gymnast who won nine Olympic medals between 1956 and 1964, was deposed as president of the international federation, the FIG, on Tuesday after 20 years in charge. Officials said the FIG general assembly voted to replace Titov with Bruno Grandi, of Italy, in a bid to modernise the sport and make it more attractive to television viewers. The decision means that Titov will also lose his seat on the International Olympic Committee.
