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.

Sweden have the best Olympic record, but this year the favourites will be the Unified Team, Poland and Hungary.
Those three countries are also likely to provide the individual medallists, although Peter Steinmann of Switzerland and Phelps could also challenge.
Phelps was fourth in Los Angeles in 1984 and sixth at Seoul four years ago. He was also fifth at the world championships in 1989 and 1990.
