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.

Richard Hannon's National Stakes winner topped the European Thoroughbred Rankings rated 122. John Gosden's Kingman, also unbeaten in a campaign curtailed by injury, was rated just 111, but his proxy Emirates Flyer, left trailing on Sandown's scorched turf by the 2,000 Guineas favourite in the Solario Stakes, quickly suggested this may prove a nonsense with a decisive success in the UAE 2,000 Guineas trial at Meydan.
The 1,000 Guineas joint-favourite Chriselliam was no sooner acclaimed the leading juvenile filly of 2013 than it emerged her Classic preparation has been held up by treatment for a poisoned foot.
The older rankings were headed by the Arc winner Treve and Australian sprinter Black Caviar, both on 130.
