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.

Your support makes all the difference.GLATISANT, a long-striding filly, instantly found many admirers after an impressive debut in the Virginia Water Stakes at Ascot yesterday.
The Geoff Wragg-trained two- year-old now leads the betting, at 25-1, for next year's Oaks with Ladbrokes and William Hill. Yesterday she defeated a field of fellow newcomers with utmost ease and the daughter of Rainbow Quest is also 16-1 for the 1,000 Guineas with Hills, and 25- 1 with Ladbrokes.
Always cantering while the rest were working hard to hold their positions, Glatisant swept clear for a five-length win over Blue Siren. The performance had been anticipated. She went off 10-11 favourite, and Wragg said: 'I knew she was good. I wanted Michael Hills to drop her in behind, but they didn't go fast enough for her.'
After another race, Wragg will pitch her against the best in the Cheveley Park Stakes.
