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.

It took 23 minutes for Castleford to score with a penalty by Martin Ketteridge. The first try came a minute later from Graham Steadman but after the break it was all Castleford.
A long-range interception try by John Schuster turned the game for Halifax midway through the second half and kept up their challenge to the Stones Bitter Championship leaders. In the 28-11 win at Oldham Schuster finished with 16 points from four goals and two tries.
Featherstone's centres, Iva Ropati and Carl Gibson, led them to a comfortable 36-0 win against Leigh. Ropati scored three of the home side's eight tries while Gibson crossed twice.
